This one is a very hard question. Breaking ties with him will be partially the best option and then give yourself a break from thinking about him.

Hiiiii,
Knowledge of wrong from right is an indication that you can beat this.
Any expression of love that leads you out of the will of God is not love. Our feelings are valid and normal but God has equally given us the ability to control these feelings.
A part of Matt 5:30 says “And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away”.
Looking at it naturally, cutting off a hand wil cause pain. However, there’s a greater benefit to doing this than not doing it, in a bid to avoid pain.
This means that it would most likely hurt you when you end the relationship(which is the right thing to do), however, it would pass.
A few tips to help you get through the temporary pain are:
-Make a note of why you are doing this. This would serve as a good reminder on the days that you would feel like taking back this wise decision.
-Talk to a trusted adult about the hurt you are feeling. Any of the teen church workers would be happy to speak to you.
-Find activities to keep you engaged and happy. Now is a good time to practice a skill you may have been putting off. Or read a book.
-Music helps but not all kinds. Resist the urge to listen to sad songs that describe how you feel. Rather find songs that uplift your spirit. Dance to it.
-Pray. Pray. Pray. Baring our hearts to our Father helps. It never fails. The Holy spirit is our comforter and our strength whenever we need it.
-Give it time.
-Remember your why.
You can do it
