# Going through a breakup? Talk it through

> Friends get tired of hearing about your ex. A listener doesn’t: talk about what happened, what you miss, and what comes next — as many times as you need.

Breakups replay in your head at the worst times — at 2 a.m., on the commute, every time your phone lights up. Saying it out loud to someone who isn’t involved helps more than scrolling through old messages.

Many SovaTalk listeners list breakups and relationships among the things they love to talk about. You can see that on their profile before you join their room.

Talk in the room, or take it to a private call when you want to go through it properly, one-on-one.

## How it works

1. **Choose a listener** — Look for “Breakups” or “Relationship stress” in what a listener loves talking about.
2. **Tell your story** — Start in the chat or ask for a private call — whatever feels easier.
3. **Come back any time** — Message them later, or drop in again when it hits you on a hard day.

## Questions

### Will they take sides or give advice?

Listeners mostly listen. If you want their honest opinion, ask — otherwise they’ll help you sort your own thoughts.

### Can I talk about it more than once?

Of course. Many people come back to the same listener. You can also send private messages between calls.

### Is it private?

Private 1-on-1 calls are only between you and the listener. In public rooms, anything you type is visible to others in that room.
