A new type of 'mance?

We have romance, bromance, and homance, so why not.... Pseudomance?  New adjective: The appearance of a closer relationship than the reality. Either a couple whose public face masks a series of problems behind closed doors. A couple who seem destined to wed and bear multiple offspring.  Or, the straight girl and the gay guy who isn't immediately identifiable as gay. The are-they aren't-they questions are usually posed to the girl as they tend to be a little more gossipy and willing to open up.  Whichever way the pseudomance may be, it's not as fulfilling as it may seem to those outside.
