Obviously, there are many factors that determine if a couple decides to split up.
But a recent study suggests more women, who are filing for divorce, are complaining that their husbands are spending too much time playing video games.
The study was conducted by Divorce Online . Of the women who cited unreasonable behavior for their divorce, 15 percent said their partners put gaming before them.
Just a year ago, only about 5 percent of women gave that response.
Many specifically blamed the games "World of Warcraft" and "Call Of Duty."
