Well part of advise is to understand that the whole relationship was illicit in front of allah to begin with so chances of any baraka from something like that r low. Only after having acknowleged what went wrong can we make the next decision. 1. Make taubah 2. Give thanks to allah that he saved u from him could have been worse u could have married him or he could have tarnished u otherwise ( no need to explain.more) 3. Close this chapter as part of taubah is to close the channels leading to the act. 4. Make dua that allah replaces him with some much better. No reason to b confused.

Ugh, and enter the preachers who know best. why is religion brought into everything. What’s illicit or not is not up to you and what kind of consequences or baraka will or won’t be received isn’t up to you either ..
