- 1/4 Women have (unsuccessfully) tried to ban gaming in the house, compared to 1/5 Men
- 25% of men have thought about breaking up with their partner because of online gaming-related arguments, compared to 17% of women
With Valentines day almost a week away, new data from CardsChat.com reveals which online games cause the most arguments in a relationship. CardsChat surveyed 1,000 UK adults whose partner plays online games, to find out how gaming affects relationships. CardsChat also spoke to three relationship experts to explain the findings.
1 in 50 couples row over games every dayĀ
Out of the 1,000 surveyed, 1 in 50 couples said they argued over gaming every day! 1 in 25 of the respondents said they squabbled a little less, ājustā 250 to 300 times per year, while 3 in 25 āfessed up to having gaming-related rows 150 to 200 times a year.
| Arguments per year | No. of couples |
| 50-100 | 1 in 4 |
| 150-200 | 3 in 25 |
| 250-300 | 1 in 25 |
| Every day! | 1 in 50 |
According to the survey data, Call of Duty is the online game most likely to cause a rift between couples with 38% of couples admitting to have argued about time spent on the game.
Fifa is a close second, with 34% of couples confessing to argue over the football game.
According to Iain Macintoshās book, āFootball Manager Stole My Lifeā, the titular game was cited as a factor in a whopping 35 divorce cases back in 2012. However, despite these stats, we found that the addictive micromanagement game came fourth with 15%.
| Game | Argument about time spent on the game |
| Call of Duty | 38% |
| Fifa | 34% |
| Fortnite | 21% |
| Football Manager | 15% |
What the expert says:
So whatās behind these rows? Chris Pleines, a dating expert from Datingscout says forgetting important dates and a lack of quality time can contribute: āBeing preoccupied with gaming will most likely let you forget what day it is, especially if you pull an all-nighter. Instead of preparing something special for your partner, you are busy levelling up on your game.ā
Letās hope that these gamers donāt forget about Valentineās Day!
Who Is Trying ā and Failing ā To Ban Gaming?
1/4 Women Vs 1/5 Men
We dug deep into our research to find out who is trying to ban gaming in these households. The girls just edge it slightly, with one quarter of female respondents admitting to unsuccessfully trying to ban gaming in their house. While around one fifth of men said they had also tried unsuccessfully to put a stop to gaming in the home.
What the expert says:
We spoke to Susan Trombetti, leading matchmaker, relationship expert, and CEO of Exclusive Matchmaking, to delve even deeper into the impact of gaming on relationships. She told us: āGaming is a way to be connected without really connecting with people thus sometimes increasing your social isolation. This can cause issues for relationships.ā
Her advice? āSome things you can try are limiting time spent on the game instead of banning them altogether. Opposed to making your household a gaming free household, if your partner enjoys it, consider limiting the time gaming, similar to how you may set boundaries like no phones while eating dinner together. Small compromises may work for you and your partner.ā
Gaming Causing Break-Ups
25% Men Vs 17% Women
Have thought about breaking up with their partner over gaming
Our data reveals that 25% of men have thought about breaking up with their partner because of online gaming-related arguments. Compared to 17% of women surveyed admitting theyāve considered calling time on a relationship for the same reason.
What the expert says:
Dainis Graveris, a certified sex educator and relationship expert at SexualAlpha suggests that: āWhen people play online games, they become a part of something that involves responsibilities, loyalties, and interactions. These interactions, however, donāt spill through with their relationships offline.
And why does this seem to bother more men than women? Dainis says:ā it boils down to the male gamerās motivations for playing online games thatās why you can find that most of them get into serious fights with their partners and have thought about breaking up with them.
For instance, some male gamers feel that playing online games helps alleviate stress, serves as an outlet for negative energy, and/or helps them regain a sense of control. When their female partners donāt understand their motivations, they take offense and get into serious argumentsā.
Peace of the action
Considering how many relationships are on the ropes due to online gaming, we started thinking about how couples can avoid the agro.
The simple solution? Get gaming included in your vows
āDo you [insert name] promise to play only an hour of gaming a day?ā
āI promise never to ban gaming in the houseā
āI vow to always put you first, even when Iām playing Fortniteā
āI promise never to keep score, even when Iām beating you at FIFAā
āI vow to never let the PS5 come between usā
āI [insert name], take thee, [insert name]ā¦.forsaking all othersā¦ātil COD do us partā
āWhatās mine is yours and whatās yours is mineā¦except the Xboxā
