Feeling Like I Let Allah Down After a Moment of Weakness

Assalamu alaikum, I'm not sure where to begin, but I need to get this off my chest. For years, I was lost in my own desires, and though I tried to turn back to Allah now and then, my repentance never really lasted. There was this sister who seemed just as mixed up as me, and I was so drawn to her that I ended up in some bad situations. But I kept getting the feeling she was only out for her own benefit, treating brothers like tools, and she'd become cold once she got what she wanted. I finally told myself I'd stop chasing her and truly repent, leaving behind all those sins. Things started looking up-Allah opened doors I never expected, gifting me things I love after I'd lost hope. I felt so blessed and close to my Lord. Then out of nowhere, she messaged me. And in an instant, I forgot everything, like I picked her over Allah. I fell right back into sin. This time, she made it crystal clear she didn't really care, we had a big fight, and she blocked me everywhere. Now I'm crushed, not just because I slipped, but because I chose her over Allah in a heartbeat-and it was all for nothing. It makes me wonder: if she hadn't pushed me away, would I have kept sinning? How can I trust my own repentance after this? The worst part is, I turned away after Allah had showered me with so much. I keep thinking of the words: "And you disobeyed Him after He showed you what you love." I want to repent, but I don't feel worthy, and I'm scared I'll just fail again. I'm lost and don't know how to move forward.

Bro, I've been there. That feeling of picking someone over Allah is the worst. But don't lose hope. Start fresh, make lots of istighfar, and ask Allah to protect you from such people.

Man, this hit hard. It's scary how fast we can fall. But remember, Allah loves the repentant. Use this pain to never go back. Make wudu, pray two rakat, and cry your heart out to Him.

Brother, don't let shaytan make you despair. Allah's mercy is greater than your sins. Make sincere tawbah right now and mean it. The fact you feel this guilt is a sign of iman.
