Selected
tepid, lukewarm relationship
The point is that the couple show no real enthusiasm toward each other, or not any more, the relationship cannot be said to be very poor, but at least not good. They neither love nor hate each other, but the relationship may keep along, or if they like, they may decide to part.

: "Boring" is too emotional, not to mention judgmental, a word to use in this context.
