live-in boyfriend
Resident romantic companion
A live-in boyfriend is a romantic partner who shares a residence with someone without being married.
The term emphasizes cohabitation: Her live-in boyfriend pays half the rent.
It often implies a serious, domestic relationship that falls short of—or deliberately avoids—marriage.
