street hockey relationship

An on-again, off-again relationship between two people that are dating. The couple will break up for usually very trivial/minor reasons and get back together numerous times. During this process they normally make sure to tell all of their friends and anyone else who will listen every step of the way to the point of being extremely annoying and insufferable.
“My friend Franklin and his girlfriend Tammy have the most pathetic street hockey relationship I have ever seen in my life. One minute they are happy in love and the next there are tears and crying and hatred and bitterness as they part ways for the umpteenth time. This happens about every week or two.”
