What is the word to describe “annoying but commonly accepted”?
For example: You're searching for your wedding location. You google, called, email - go through all the process of finding the perfect location.
It's super annoying but at the same time you accept it because it's such a common pain that people tend to "accept" it because "That's just the way it is". How would you describe this word?

Resignation? Compliance? Conformity? Offhand I can't think of a single word simultaneously implying frustration + acceptance (and presumably, spinelessness - unwillingness to do anything about the undesirable situation), but it might help if you could give a specific example context where you might use the term you seek. Something about sheepish, herd-like mentality comes to mind.

Having to wash the dished everyday is such a chore.
Making the bed in the morning is part of my daily routine.
Being stuck in traffic is so tiresome.
