How to break up with someone who loves you a lot?

So basically me and this dude started dating at a very bad time in my life and I just wanted to feel cared for. I dated him knowing it was a bad idea. We’ve dated for about almost 7 months now and my life has slowly started to get better since I moved out of my toxic household. As I slowly become happier I slowly realize how much of life I’ve missed out on and all the fun single people are having. I want to finally get to know myself and be truly happy, but how can I do all of this. How can I do all of this when I have to break up with this sweet kind guy who can be a bit toxic but overall a guy I got attached to. I knows he’s in love with me and anytime I try to break up with him I break his heart and can’t handle it so I get back with him. How do I finally break up with him?
