7cups is a space to talk about your feelings or discuss different situations that you may be facing, but no matter how good or skilled a listener is, the only person capable of knowing how to live your life the way that's best for you, is yourself. a listener may help you find what it is that you want to do or which are the things that would make you happy, but won't be able to tell you which path is best to follow, since you are the expert on what is best for you.

7 Cups of Tea is for sure one the best places to vent and have someone listen to you. All our Listeners are trained. Here are 7 Cups of Tea we don't give advice because We're not allowed to give advice because it may not be best for your life because we don't truly know you and we don't know what would be the most favourable outcome. We do however give great tips and suggestions!

No, 7Cups is not allowed to give advice, Listeners can only guide you to make whatever choice you think is right. So no, it's against the rules for a Listener to give advice of any kind.

7Cups isn't a place for seeking advice, as the majority of listeners here are just regular people, and not professionals. The most that a 7Cups listener can provide is emotional and moral support through any problems you may have, but any advice we could give may be unwarranted and end up being detrimental.

You can go to anyone you chose to...that said, it might be in your best interests to reach out to persons that you think have proven to be trustworthy, and possibly unbiased, if possible. That said, personally, I think a lot is to be said for trusting your own personal instincts when it comes to relationships. Hope this helps, take care.

Yes! The listeners on this site are really dedicated, caring and optimistic. They know what you're going through and are super easy to talk to.

Someone you can trust and is willing to actively listen to you. Someone who loves you unconditionally and accept your decision no matter what, your parents might be helpful

Go to someone that you feel comfortable with. Don't make yourself uncomfortable when it comes to getting help about anything.

Personally I've found Mum's are usually the best at giving relationship advise or another close family member who you feel comfortable talking to about it.

I can go to my school counselors because they work with people with my problems. They are nonjudgmental about me being openly gay.

A counsellor. You may discuss with a relationship counsellor. Also, you may start your exploration with a listener here at 7cups.

The best people to go to for relationship advice is your close friends, and your family. They can better relate to your situations because they have either A. Been through it already or B. Are going through the same things you are. Don't be afraid to ask for help, that's what your friends and family are there for.

Relationship advice is always better done with the person you are with. If you need help organizing your thoughts a friend is always a good choice

My gay male husband I've been with for 13 years now. We have a great relationship, so again, I'm not sure why you are asking this question.

All things equal i will recommend parents, older siblings, mentors or individuals that you consider successful in relationships and professional counsellors.

Choosing to talk to someone about relationships is a big step. It shows that you are ready to gain control. You can go to a relationship counselor, fellow listeners on 7 cups, you can talk to call centers or guidance counselors at school.

For advice related to relationship I always tend to speak to my friends who currently are in a relationship for more than 5 years. They are generally the ones who have faced all kinds of highs and lows in their relation and being your friend they may be able to relate to you better than elders.

Its better to go for relationship advice to someone close from your family. Most of the time, though friends might try to help you, but you have to remember that your friends are same age to you and they have seen the world as much as you have. So, its better to go to a person who has seen more in life. For girls, it can be your sister or may be your mother, if you are close to her. For boys, you can get help from your brother, even your sister can help, cause girls have some privilege in dealing with relationships as guys don't have to deal with these types of problems unless they are in a relationship. But sometime, a friend can help if s/he knows you better or hope the best things for you. But unless you are sure, they are your truest friends, don't turn up to them for a relationship advice. Believe me, most of your friends will just make it more complicated and worse. Best of luck.

Chatrooms, therapists, google for other sites related to support services. Friends and possibly family. Pastor at a church will sometimes do privste visits if you are having trouble.

I always recommend going to those who are in a strong solid relationship. It may be a young couple or an older one. I always recommend going to both, and if you know someone who was in a relationship and it didn't work out I think it is good to speak with them as well.

It's always best to go to an adult for relationship advice. Adults tend to have more experience and they can guide us about relationships

There are several trained Listeners on 7 Cups of Tea who have knowledge in relationships and break ups. There are also several chatrooms where you can also chat with other members like yourself.

It sounds like you're having a hard time in a relationship. You could try to talk to your partner, or someone who has been through a relationship

A friend, relationship counselor, family, whoever you feel most comfortable with would be the person to go to.
