- Abstract
Although most romantic relationships will dissolve, few studies have examined the relationship formed between dating partners After their romance terminates. This study examines the post-dissolutional relationships experienced by participants who were involved in same-sex (N = 298) and opposite-sex (N = 272) romantic relationships. The degrees to which ex-partners experience interpersonal contact, emotional and sexual intimacy, and satisfaction in their post-dissolutional relationships was examined. Further, two types of influences on post-dissolutional relationship qualities were investigated. Variables that originated within the dyad or individuals (personal) had a stronger influence on relationship qualities than did variables that originated from the dyad's environment (structural). The importance of understanding post-dissolutional relationships and future research suggestions are discussed.
