The present research aimed to elucidate the interpersonal dynamics of relationship maintenance in hurtful events in the context of close relationships by examining how hurt frequency, perceived intentionality, and relationship satisfaction, respectively, were associated with relationship maintenance outcomes through perceived hurtfulness and communicative behaviors (constructive communication and destructive communication). The research used an online survey to collect data from a community sample of 767 individuals. Results indicated that relationship satisfaction significantly promoted constructive communication while inhibiting destructive communication, which in turn mitigated the harmful effects of hurtful events on close relationships. On the contrary, increased hurt frequency and perceived intentionality were found to prompt individuals to engage in destructive communication, thereby exacerbating relational damage. However, the research also identified a mediating pathway wherein hurt and active constructive communication mediated the negative effects of increased hurt frequency and perceived intentionality on close relationships, which in turn facilitated relationship repair and maintenance.
