I think probably the best would be 倦怠. A nice two-kanji jukugo, so from a visual aspect pretty ideal and has some symmetry. Also the meaning should be pretty much exactly what you're looking for.

I think 退屈 would be best. The word is widely used.

Thanks very much! I see the value of both words. If I look at the translations 倦怠 expresses more fatigue and weariness and 退屈 more boredom. Both are applicable. I'll give it another thought. Thanks again for your great help!

倦怠 uses a kanji that is not used often and can be seen as an uncommon word, whereas 退屈 are everyday kanji and is an everyday word. but instead of 1 word there would also be the possibility to describe it using an expression. Success with the presentation!

Best word to describe a boring, tedious relationshop
Dear all,
I have very little knowledge on Japanese. For a presentation, I'm looking for the best word to describe "boring, tedious" for a relationship or marriage that has lasted long but from which the energy has drained and the partners have a hard time with one another. Is this the best translation? If not, do you have a better suggestion? Can the word also be used as a noun? As I want to calligraphy it, the visual aspect is import as well, so I'd prefer the use of kanjis.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
