You will need to sit down with an attorney that you select to advise you about your marital status.

Re: common law marriage
You do not need to pay a lawyer to point out the fact that according to your post, neither of you wanted a marriage. You also don't need to pay a lawyer to tell you that the law does not force a marriage on 2 people who never wanted to be married. Common law marriage - which has not even existed in GA in many years, but did in the early 90's - required some intent to be married.
