dead bedroom

No physical connection

Dead bedroom describes a romantic relationship where sexual intimacy has dwindled to rare or nonexistent.

The phrase emerged from online forums where partners—usually married or cohabiting—discuss the frustration and loneliness of wanting physical connection their partner won't provide: We've been in a dead bedroom situation for two years now.

The bedroom isn't literally dead; the sex life is.
