	I'm writing something and I can't think of a word! I am looking for a word to describe a couple who are civil to each other but totally indifferent... a marriage of convenience... something to describe the 'coldness'? any ideas please? xx

	I’m feeling apathetic when it comes to writing prose There are lots of words on offer being waved under my nose But I have no time to spare so I’ll have to be pragmatic And turn my nebulous thoughts into something more dramatic!
