Precisely.

I'm with you on saving it for those in the cross hairs. No need to go through that for weekend fling. But once you're at the point where they seem like crosshairs material why work it out later? I mean, that's potentially a lot of unpleasantness and disappointment that could have been headed off. If it's a deal breaker, break it before anyone has to move furniture.

So if it's a trait you want to change anyway, fine get them to help you if they can. But if your failure to do so is going to lead to bitchiness leading to furniture moving .. meh, nip it in the bud. Life's too short.
