insignificant other

in a personal relationship, a person who is unimportant to one's well-being. (especially a spouse or one in a similar type of relationship)

although they were supposedly in an intimate relationship, marieanne did not seem to warrant being informed of anything mitchell was doing. mitchell wouldn't even give her the common courtesy of letting her know when he was leaving or where he was going, and when he would return much later, he wouldn't greet her, and he would avoid entering any room she was in, sometimes for many hours.

mitchell's behavior made marieanne feel like she was his insignificant other.
