Default My B/F is putting World of Warcraft before our relationship. Help?

Any suggestions would be great.
How can i get my b/f of 5 years to realise WOW is ruining our relationship.
Its got to the stage were we sleep in seperate beds because he stays up so late he diesnt want to come in and wake me up because i have work early in the morning.
Its all he thinks about consantly and the other night when i asked him to give up his Raiding ( Something he is the head of in the game ) as my little sister and brother are coming up and will have to stay in the spare room he went off his head n couldt give it up for 2 nights. So i went a bit far and snapped the internet connection so he reacted by throwing a plate at me, lucky it missed and smashed against the wall. This was all because he would be able to play that night.
I odnt know what to do anymore ive tried everything i can think of and now im scared.
I love him soo much and i know he loves me but he cant stop.

Threw a plate at you.... He needs a reality check or lay off the cocaine or both. No excuse ever.. What if that plate hit you? Childish selfish unexcusable behavior. Period.

Pack your things and leave. Don't look back. It will be this way the rest of your life if you don't.

honestly i think the only way to make him realise is to give him an ultimatum, you need to let him know that you will not put up with this.

how long has he been playing wow? if that answer is 4 or 5 years i would be surprised at his tenacity to play. if its only 0-2 years, then it sounds like he has the raiding bug. as a raid leader you are organizing and commanding 10-40 other players to achieve a goal. raiding new content can take weeks and months to master. for example a 12 boss dungeon could take 2-4 hours to learn each boss, and if u cant beat one, u must do other things to gear up. to stay competitive you need to keep up or you r left behind.

so...what can i tell you? most raid guilds just set aside 2-3 nights. 2 is good with spare time to play for gearing up. he should have a few ppl he can call upon to lead if he cant make it. this is really hard if its a small guild, bc he would be a critical piece. what you should do is tell him the game is making you feel neglected. tell him you can understand the commitment hes made to his online friends, but cannot disregard his commitment to you. see if he will agree to scaling his raid nights back to 2-3days tops. but treat these days almost as if he is out of the house playing in bowling / darts / bowling league. however non-league nights you have first dibs, maybe even setup your own league night for the 2 of you,

as veteran 6 year gamer with wife and child, i found that raiding consumes the most amount of time... it it is never ending, as they always roll out more content. eventually the old gamers realise this and dont want to neglect friends and family, so we strive for a healthy balance.

mind u there will still be the binge gaming sessions over a weekend from now and again... but it should not be the norm. if he is unwilling to make the compromise, you really must heed the other advisers and leave. throwing the plate is crap, but i know the rage when interrupted in the middle of your events - u should let him know that he must apologize for that and it not happen ever again.
again, your final option is leave.

good luck
