Dialectical tensions are inherent contradictions in relationships that create ongoing pressures for balancing opposing needs or desires. Commitment versus insecurity is not considered a common dialectical tension. The recognized tensions are autonomy versus connection (desire for independence vs. desire for closeness), openness versus closedness (desire to share personal information vs. desire to maintain privacy), and predictability versus novelty (desire for stability vs. desire for change).
