paperwork marriage

A marriage that is for the sole purpose of one or both of the participants to gain benefits that would not be available outside of marriage to each other--quite often for immigration or health insurance purposes as opposed to marrying for love/lust. Very common in the military as unmarried soldiers are required to live in the barracks.
Soldier 1: Man, I hate living in the barracks.
Soldier 2: If you got a paperwork marriage you wouldn't have to live in the barracks. Just keep your shit separate from hers and you're gold.

married to my work

When your new flatmate says they are married to their work after you ask if they have a boyfriend or girlfriend, but they are actually just reaaaallllyyy gayyyyyyy. Also, they definitely saw you lick your lips after they said they don't have a girlfriend, so now would be the time to change the subject.
Person 1: "You don't have a girlfriend, then?"
Person 2: "Girlfriend. No. Not really my area."
Person 1: *stares* "Oh really." *pause* "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Person 2: *head turns slowly towards P1*

Person 1: "Which is fine by the way-"
P2: "I know it's fine."
P1: *small smile* "So, you've got a boyfriend?-"
P2: "No."
P1: "Alright. Ok." *licks lips* "You're unattached just like me... fine. Good."
-long pause-
P2: * looks down and back up* "(Insert name of P1), um. I think you should know that I consider myself married to my work and while I'm flattered by your interest-"
P1: *shakes head, in distress* "No... No."
P2: "I'm really not looking for anything"
P1: *still shaking head* "I'm not... asking- no."

P2: *looks confused*
P1: "I'm just saying: it's all fine."
P2: "Good. Thank you."
P1: *eyes wide, probably internally thinking 'shit shit shit'*

Marriage Girl
