cohabitated

Shared a home

Cohabitated is the past tense of cohabitate, a back-formation from cohabitation meaning to live together, especially as an unmarried couple in a romantic relationship: They cohabitated for three years before getting married.

The more established verb is cohabit, making cohabitated somewhat redundant, though both forms appear in common use.
