Talker guide
Someone to talk to about relationships
A breakup you did not see coming. A partner who cheated. A marriage that feels lonely. Dating apps that wear you down. When you need to talk about love and relationships with someone who is not in the middle of it, a verified listener can help you think out loud.

Friends who know both of you cannot always stay neutral, and family often has a stake. A listener is an outside ear: no history with your ex, no opinion about your partner’s mother, no “I told you so.”
Breakups and heartbreak
Right after a breakup, the same thoughts loop: what went wrong, whether to text them, how to stop checking their profile. Saying it to someone new can break the loop. You can talk now when a listener is available or book a time for the evening when it hits hardest.
Cheating, trust and hard decisions
Finding out about an affair turns everything upside down. Whether you are thinking about staying or leaving, it helps to talk it through with someone who will not push you either way. A listener will not tell you what to decide — they will help you hear what you already think.
Dating, marriage and friendship
First-date nerves, situationships, long distance, a sexless or lonely marriage, a falling-out with a best friend — relationships of every kind are fair game.

FAQ: talking to someone about relationships
- Who can I talk to about my relationship?
- A verified Sweet Listeners listener — someone neutral who is there to listen for 15 minutes by chat, voice or video. It is not couples therapy.
- Can I get relationship advice from a listener?
- You can ask for their perspective, and many listeners will share one. They are not counselors, and the decision always stays yours.
- How much does a session cost?
- Each session is 15 minutes: chat (text) is $10, voice is $20 and video is $30. You pick the format before you start. There is no subscription.
- Is this a dating app?
- No. Sweet Listeners is not for dating or romance. Sessions are remote conversations, and asking for personal contact is against the guidelines.
- Is this therapy?
- No. Sweet Listeners is paid conversation with a verified adult. It is not therapy, counseling, medical care or a crisis service. If you need clinical care, a licensed professional is the right choice.
