When couples' game night becomes more stress than fun

My partner and I have this weekly game night that used to be the highlight of our week, but somewhere along the way it turned into this tense thing where we both get competitive and nitpicky about rules and neither of us is having fun anymore. We keep doing it because it feels like giving up on something important, but I can't remember the last time we actually enjoyed playing together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The ritual meant to bring joy has become a battleground where neither person can remember how to play.
