re-fak-tionship

When an unsuspecting person believes they are in a monogamous relationship with someone, but the other party was lying, cheating and stringing them along the entire time, while they were just pretending they were committed to a future together, thus making the entire thing a one sided fantasy. It was never a real relationship.

I should have ended that re-fak-tionship with that lying bastard a long time ago.
