Another word for a marriage that only looks like a marriage. More often associated with an otherwise normal marriage that is
plagued by the lack of sex for many reasons. A
sexless marriage. It is so
unbearable at times, that it seems quite unreal, even to yourself.
"They haven't had sex in over three years!"
"But they seem like such a perfect,
happy couple. They're not even in their
forties!"
"They do get along really well. They are best friends. It's
a mirage."
