cohabitating
Sharing a residence
Cohabitating means living together, typically referring to an unmarried couple sharing a home as romantic partners: They've been cohabitating for three years.
The term is slightly formal; most people would simply say "living together." Cohabiting is more common than cohabitating, though both forms are standard.
