I opened my brain, and look what fell out

I'M SO MAD!

I just got into a huge fight with my boyfriend, though he probably just thinks I'm being irrational.
He spent last night at dinner complaining how he thought he was getting a cold, then stayed up all night playing stupid "World of Warcraft." So he called in sick today. And I am sure he's playing the game instead of being in bed, or doing any chores, or helping at all.
Just two months ago, he did the same thing and spent the next day berating himself for not getting off the game and going to bed. But a guildie needed help, and obviously helping a complete stranger online trumps sleeping in bed beside the woman you claim you love.
I don't want this to be a make-or-break thing, but ... I just wish he'd get some effing perspective on the whole thing.
It's just a game!
What's really ironic is that he's busting his ass to get to level 60 (the highest) and so many boards I've been on say that there's really nothing to do once you hit 60 except roam around and get stuff.
The worst part is that I DO play the game (I have four characters I'm rotating play on) and DO understand how addictive it is.
I have enough other things going on in my life that an accomplishment in the game isn't the only thing I live for.
Maybe that's the problem: People who can't accomplish anything anywhere else treat the accomplishments in the game as things that really do count.
I know I sound bitter, but I'm furious.
