mirage

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."
