We (both 18M) have been planning this trip for about two years and the entire time has been very enthusiastic to travel, having no problems paying for flights, train pass, world cup tickets, etc.
I have been doing the vast majority of the planning and research but I figured since I have some experience travelling before with parents and he has no experience, I guess it makes sense for me to make sure we don’t forget about anything.
We are both pretty tight with the money but since I booked the hotels with free cancellation a while ago we are very close to having enough, but less then two weeks away he suddenly doesn’t want to come anymore, because he feels it would be better for his future to not spend the money he has now on the trip, fears about being stuck overseas from world war 3 suddenly happening, and feeling three months is too long to be away from his girlfriend, who he got with less than a year ago.
Since it was a trip I’ve been saving up for the past three years and was/am very excited for, I’m finding it very hard not to completely cut him off, but since the first flight is on the 25th it would cost more for me to go alone than even me paying for the both of us, which I can’t afford.
So, how on earth do I convince him to still come, as I need him to come and can’t go solo, and would be devastated if I end up not being able to go
