live-togethers
People sharing housing
Live-togethers are unmarried people who share a household as romantic partners.
The term is informal and slightly awkward, often used by those who find "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" inadequate for adult cohabitation but resist "partner" or "significant other": My parents still don't approve of us being live-togethers.
