You May Need To

Yes, I know how he is in your head. They make you want to believe what they are promising, and too often it works. Then you're in a mess later, trying to get out of it, broke, and still (because of the mental manipulation) in love him. Just because it's hard, doesn't mean it's not the right thing to do. If at all possible, change your travel plans to not include him (or anywhere near him), and if you can't, DON'T GO. You will regret it if you do. It is very obvious what he's up to, and he'll try to make you think he's being this way because he's in love with you. These guys love no one but themselves.He will be very persistent, so if you can't block him (for whatever reason), then yes, change your number. Expect it to be difficult - he's already got you "hooked" due to manipulating you, so just realize this. I promise I'm not saying this to you just because the relationship with mine didn't work out - NONE of them do.
