matriphony

Someone who pretends to be married to avoid awkward social situations that arise from being in a long-term monogamous relationship without tying the knot.

I can't get my girlfriend's grandmother to quit telling us to get married. I've decided to just be a matriphony around her -- she's pretty senile anyway.
