I think you have some good ideas and there is definitely aspects of marriage going on here.
However I think this song like most on the Coloring Book EP and The Singles EP has to do with drug/alcohol addiction.
Beyond poor/beyond ostracized makes me think of a drug addict, who really has no connection to this world whatsoever.
Instead of a man married to a whore (a typical GJ theme) I think the man is dealing with his wife who is drinking/doing drugs. "If what I say isn't true..." refers to him lying to her simply to get her to leave this place/mental state and get help.
The chorus is her POV: "I'm afraid you want me to go without."
However "dominus" means owner and there is plenty to suggest prostitution. It might be a combo.
