AITA for wanting a promotion?

My boyfriend (32M) and I (34M) had a bit of a tiff about our situation at work. My boss (245M) recently got a promotion, but I don't think he's handling the job well and I know I'd be better suited for the position. I have a lot of great ideas about how to change things around here, and think I could make the most good of the current situation if I had this job. (Also, my boss wouldn't even be where he is now without all of my hard work)

My boyfriend is worried because he thinks I'm enthralled by the promise of power and "trying to be the ultimate judge of everything". He also made some mean remarks about how I acted in recent confrontations with former business rivals. I think this is unfair because a) he was very supportive of me smiting them at the time, and b) he knows the slow, inevitable loss of my humanity is something I'm sensitive about.

We had a fight and then he ran off with a spider lady. AITA here? And WIBTA if I went for the promotion anyways without telling him? Yeah, he might be mad at me but I think it would be better for everyone in the long run.

EDIT: Listen, I know everyone is trapped in their own personal hellscape of fear, but if literally anyone could get on reddit and offer some advice about this I'd really appreciate it.

EDIT 2: Everyone weighing in from the Lonely domains telling me to dump my boyfriend can fuck off.

EDIT 3: Does anyone know where I can find a rowboat?
