The study, which was conducted by Big Yellow Self Storage, found that men will often escape their partner by relocating to a spare room – or a shed.
Of those polled, half said they had transformed their spare room to accommodate their hobbies, while 17% relocate to the garage, with a further 11% escaping to the garden shed.
Eight in 10 men also admitted that their relationships are better for having a 'man space', with six in 10 women agreeing. An additional 61% of men confirmed they had their own space where they went to get away from their wife or partner for a while.
The research found that married men tend to spend 7 hours 36 minutes alone in their man space each week, and when based on a 16-hour waking day, this translates as 24 days 11 hours each year.
This amount increased for men aged between 45 and 55 who spend 7 hours 59 minutes away from their partner, or 26 days a year.
When asked what they keep in their own spaces, 29% said they stored their music collection, while others kept comics, books and old gadgets. 22% have musical instruments, 10% have fishing gear while 18% keep exercise equipment.
A further 17% use it for bicycles and accessories, 7% have a snooker or pool table and 13% even claimed to have set up a model railway.
However, this too leads to arguments with the average man arguing with their partner once a week about how much they own and the amount of space it takes up.
Psychologist Anjula Mutanda is quoted in the Daily Mail as saying: "It's important for men to have a space where they can be alone and uninterrupted, tinker with their collections and indulge in hobbies.
"Couples often don't see eye to eye when it comes to the possessions that take up household space, which leads to tension and arguments.
"A 'man cave' also offers men a refuge where they can de-stress, unwind and re-charge.
"Both men and women can benefit from this time apart. Why? Because this freedom and space is key to a healthy and balanced relationship."
