You can explore some ideas with him. Although backpacking alone is not a good idea, you could suggest that maybe you split up for the middle 1 week of the trip - just for a break, which he may appreciate also. If you do that, you can stay close enough to each other to be able to help if an emergency happens, and it would be important to have a means to communicate (i.e. walkie talkie, satellite phone, smoke-signals, drum-beat morse code, or whatever works for you).
Even an occasional 1-day break at several points over the 3-weeks may be enough to give some relief.
Thank you guys.
You're right, I got to keep my word and travel with him.
The thing is, I'm a loner, and I've never been with someone day after day for a month, nor did I have much experience with it.
I hope I'll manage to get along with him.
There's still some time till the trip, i'll keep you posted.
It'll be a good experience for you then - certainly dumping him at this late date (or at all once arranged) would be a really crappy thing to do.
So what?The thing is, I'm a loner,
As others have said, it is time to start learning and get that experience.and I've never been with someone day after day for a month, nor did I have much experience with it.

Hi guys,
Thanks again for all your support and honest opinions.
I started to make a list of cons and came up with the below:
1. share expenses (becomes pretty annoying when one spends more than the other and we need to calculate how much each should pay)
2. wait for the other person to wake up
3. if you're not hungry at the same time, one has to wait for the other to finish his meal, and vice versa
4. agree on the route taken each day
That's hard! is'nt it?
Looking at the list, its what you will have to get used too if you ever get married.
Its called learning to compromise and work as a team.
IMHO you are intent on making it a negative experience, so it will most likely turn out that way!!
That's hard! is'nt it?
