How do I break free from a haram relationship?

I was born Muslim and attended an Islamic school until first grade, so I learned the basics early on. I still try to learn as I go. I've never drunk alcohol, eaten pork, or smoked. But two years ago I started dating this girl, and it led me into haram actions that I'm ashamed of. She's cheated on me multiple times, and I saw it as a sign from Allah to leave, but I couldn't because I was too attached and scared of being alone. Sometimes I feel numb. Deep down, I want to return to Allah-to pray, to understand Islam better. I've saved many Islamic videos on TikTok, and they motivate me, but then she says things that pull me back in. It feels like a test from Allah. I want to cut her off completely, but I'm scared. Afterward, I feel disgusted with myself. I cry thinking about Allah and about a future where I'm a better Muslim, married and doing everything right. But then I wake up and see where I am now, and I feel stuck. We never know when our time will come, and that scares me. I want to get right with Allah before I leave this world. In my heart, I know my Creator and my religion. I just want to stop the haram before it's too late.

This is exactly what shaytan wants-to keep you trapped by your attachments. Keep making du'a and don't lose hope. Try to surround yourself with practicing brothers who will remind you of Allah.

I was in a similar situation and what helped me was deleting all her contacts and being firm with myself. It will hurt but each day gets easier. May Allah grant you a righteous spouse.

Brother, your fear of Allah is a sign your heart is still alive. Cut her off cold turkey, block her everywhere, change your number if needed. The pain of withdrawal is temporary but the regret of continuing will destroy you. Ask Allah for strength.

Repent sincerely and never look back. Allah is Al-Ghafoor. The fact that you feel this guilt is a mercy. Make a firm decision and pray istikhara for guidance. You can do this.
