@pulma Cumbersome is usually used when something is difficult to move or carry. Wet clothing or giant shoes can be cumbersome to wear, and heavy desks can be cumbersome to move.
Troublesome is when something repeatedly causes trouble or creates problems. Your new kitten can be troublesome.
Burdensome is rarely used, but it might be used to describe something that causes persistent, longer-lasting problems, a.k.a. a burden. Someone's heart condition might be burdensome to live with.
