Public Tolerance
They weren't in a relationship, not really.
They only tolerated each other in public and even then it sometimes wasn't enough.
When they talked, there was a good chance it'd end up an argument.
(And there was a good chance that argument would end up in them not talking to the other for a day or two.)
Sure, they were together all the time. And yes, they attended all the social events together. But that was merely because they had nobody else.
You don't get to choose who you end up with, not really.
It just works out that way.
