Susan, Susan, Susan!

Wow ,Susan. You had me going there for the first paragraph and I was thinking you were doing OK.

Then you got to the real stuff, the reality behind the fluffy words and 'I love you's' or whatever things he says to you to make your brain stop working... I don't know what hell he has already put you through that you allude to, but it pales in comparison to what is ahead of you.

STOP SENDING MONEY!!!

NO! DO NOT PAY FOR YOUR TRIP OR YOUR WEDDING! You are being caught up in a lie and I am afraid for you when you arrive in a foreign hostile country and get jacked!

I know you are going to argue with this. I know you want to believe you are in love with some figment of your imagination, but please, do at least one thing for me (someone who does not know you from adam and yet cares enough to reply to you)- try an experiment for the next few weeks or month. Tell him you have no money to send (for his concerts and bs!). tell him you will need his help financially to get his true love over to him to get married.

Just see what he says, does. If he stops talking to you altogether, do not be shocked, and take it as a BLESSING that you avoided tremendous hardship and even danger and got out of this foolishness before permanent damage was done.

I dare you to try it and I beg you to be strong enough to. When he shuts off to go after more willing victims, come back here and we will help you get over him and get on with your life to have the chance at a real relationship with a really caring and loving man in your life, who does not need your money...

Be strong Susan, clear your mind and see reality. You can do this.
