Daughter repeatedly dumped by BF

Hi All, my 15 year old daughter has boyfriend who is about a year and a half older than her. She has been seeing him on and off since early last year. He has broken up with her twice and has now done it again and now says it wasn't meant as a break up.. just a break. She is besotted with him and I think he is treating her like a doormat and frankly don't want her having anything to do with him. She says she loves him. I have said I am not facilitating her seeing him, she has indicated she will see him regardless of what I say. Now obviously I can suspend pocket money, stop her mobile access etc but I really don't want to ruin our relationship. I have said he can come to us because I am making a gamble that he won't .. but I just am a bit at the end of my tether as it's GCSE time and this is a distraction she does not need but I don't want her to stop talking to me .. or lying about where she is.

we live in a little village so they can't see each other easily, by bus or parent transport. I really want him to make the effort to come see her.. he is nice enough I just don't like seeing her hurt.
