Bach Original Flower Remedies has looked into the impact impatience has on loved ones. We take a look at why couples might toe tap or finger drum with each other.

Do you ever feel like this with your partner?

Do you ever feel like this with your partner?

Being late- In every couple there is one who's always early or on time and another who thinks nothing of being late for every social occasion. Consequently, you arrive looking like you hate each other to see friends and family because you will never be able to agree on the perfect time to turn up at a party.

Doing jobs right- It's always a kind gesture when your partner does something around the house that you would normally. That said, they probably don't do it to your high standards and you end up hovering over them and having to go over their work to meet your expectations.

Sex- Sadly, when couples have sex, there might be times when one of you wants to take it slow and other just wants to get it over and done with, turn over and get some shut eye. This kind of sex descends into a heated discussion of what's wrong with your love life and a frosty back to back sleeping position.

It's time to leave- At any social event it's likely that one of you wants to stay and one of you wants to go at different times in the night. You may give your partner the 'I want to go' glare but they either choose to ignore it or have no idea why you have suddenly got so twitchy.

Trying for a baby- It can be frustrating when one of you has the attitude of 'it will happen when it happens' while the other thinks about nothing else all day- every day. Your attitudes towards trying to conceive can be very different which can feel like you're forking off in separate directions at times.

Cooking together- This is something that many self-help relationship articles tell you to do together to discover a new shared hobby. In reality- one of you is the throw it in the oven and eat it as soon as possible kind of partner while other likes to take their time. It's not what it looks like in the movies- the pressure is cranked up- just not on the cooker.

Moaning about the same thing- Couples complain about the same things over and over again that they have complete control over- losing weight, doing more exercise, changing jobs or spending less. The same things crop up all the time. It's a test of patience when one of you tries to give your partner advice or help them to achieve change but they don't ever take it.

Landmarks- Buying a house, getting engaged or married or making renovations to your home- there is always something more you could have or do as a couple. When you see all your friends with the things you yearn for it can be a challenge to wish them well without them seeing your jealousy. For some partners, it's really hard to drown all of that out and realise that you will do things at your own pace. It takes a partner who is not affected by outside influences to make their loved one see this, but achieving it can be a constant battle.

Getting ready- If one of you is a get-ready-in-five kind of person and the other likes to take pride in getting ready- this can cause friction. There is only so much trash TV you can watch to kill the time before the one who's ready to leave will explode.

Leaving the house- In every couple there is a security conscious, bordering on OCD kind of person who likes to check doors, sockets and taps three or four times before they are satisfied that nothing will burn, flood or open while they are gone. The other person is willing to take the risk that everything is fine and will sit in the car drumming on the steering wheel until their partner emerges.
