Victims of relational transgressions experience negative consequences such as loss of face, damage to self-concept and identity, and a variety of negative affective responses. Although scholars have explored the communication patterns that follow relational transgressions, they have focused primarily on interactions between relational partners. Although existing research is informative in terms of how partners communicate with relational transgressors, little is known regarding the ways in which partners communicate about relational transgressors and transgressions. The purpose of the present study was to investigate these communication patterns, as communication with members of one's social network can have significant implications for romantic relationships.
