[@mithajanna4713]

can someone tell me in very easy definition, about relational dialectics 😬

[@commtheorybook]

You can learn more about relational dialectics theory on our textbook's website: www.afirstlook.com/edition-11/theory-resources/by-theory/Relational-Dialectics-Theory/overview
The definition given there is, "The dynamic and unceasing struggle between discourses about interpersonal relationships." The idea is that any relationship is spoken into being by a variety of discourses (or streams of talk about the relationship), and these discourses inevitably change over the course of time.
Hope this is helpful!
