Relational Uncertainty refers to people's lack of confidence in their perceptions of relationship involvement.

"Our results suggest that when intimacy ebbs, doubts about the relationship emerge. Making emerging adults aware of how romantic associations inevitably pose a threat to a person's subjective well-being might help them to form more realistic romantic relationship goals," said the authors.
