Distractionship

A bond formed between two people that is beneath a relationship or a situationship for the sole purpose of distracting oneself or selves from another relationship or situationship. This may be done consciously or subconsciously. Additionally, one person may see the bond as more of a relationship/situationship whereas the other person may truly see it for what it is.
A relationship is your boyfriend/girlfriend. A situationship is the sticky mess you find yourself in with a person who avoids commitment. And distractionship(s) are all the random people on your snap that you flirt with to make yourself feel better about said relationship or situationships.
