Tabletop RPG's (D&D)

[CapnAwesome]

The names were Cora for the witch, and Gwen for the Magus. It's not like they were crazy names.  Or even difficult ones!'
He just didn't want me to pick a new name for the Magus, and to keep using Cora.  I told him, CORA was my human witch, and not the name of a half-elf Magus.

Nothing about being nonsensical.  He just wanted me to keep using the witches name, but to me, the name is part of the roleplay, and that name belonged to a different character.

My human witch was from the part of the world he told me the campaign was in.  She had a background HE APPROVED before we started playing.
He approved her as we went along.  I consulted him constantly.  I read the geography and local history of the area, my witch was from a very local tribe, with a history that worked easily into the story he is using.  He went out on a limb to make a Tiefling.  My character not fitting had nothing to do with it.  He just has control issues.  He wanted me to ROLEPLAY a certain way.  I never even wanted to do this shit with him, he's an utter control freak, and I already know that.  Playing MMo's with him for years, I just avoid playing with him anymore. If we play the same game, we never even group, because he will end up just yelling and throwing shit.

But after he spent $400 on a tabletop game, I kinda had to do my best to try and make it work, because that was our ENTIRE SUMMER VACATION MONEY.  I did EVERYTHING HE AKSED AND MORE, and he still threw it in the garbage.  I CANNOT WIN.

Sorry, this is personal.  I probably shouldn't be posting about it here, and you shouldn't be assuming I made all these newb mistakes.  I've been roleplaying as long as he has.  

I'd really like to just delete this entire thread at this point.

I wasn't assuming anything. Just talking about past experiences about being a DM. If you want to keep playing D&D (or Pathfinder) and not waste that money, you can always do it with other people.
