Boyfriend sounds like a control freak. Over the years we had many couples join our "Raiding Guild with family policies" guild. (e.g. No asshats) It was almost always because one half of the couple didn't want to raid and felt our non-required raiding would be more fun (Sorry, no, you don't have to show up, but if you do, you better be able to do the encounters!) The other half would feel that our raiding, slow progression but progression, would be better than nothing.

It never worked.

More often than not, uber half of the couple would go all freakfest, get in an argument with an officer or the guild leader or raid leader and haul their significant other out and go join an uber guild and the non-raider would be miserable.

I watched many couples over the years in this situation gaming.. and always was one a control freak. Chances are, boyfriend is insecure, doesn't want girlfriend out of his watch, and has a habit of controlling her through guilt and is at a loss when it isn't working for him.

Or he could just be selfish as advertised. Either way -- he should go join an uber epeen raiding guild on his own and stop making his lady miserable.
