I might suggest IntermittentRelationship or ImpermanentRelationship, 
which should probably be considered the implicit class of all 
Relationships defined to date, until & unless they are explicitly
classed as PerpetualRelationships, because care was not taken in 
determining whether this type applied, because it didn't yet exist ...

Mutable / Immutable, and Changeable / Unchangeable also occur to me.
