live with

Share a home

To live with someone is to share a residence, often implying a romantic relationship without marriage: They've been living together for three years.

To live with something is to accept or tolerate an ongoing condition: I can live with that decision, She learned to live with chronic pain.

The phrase suggests resignation—not enthusiasm, but willingness to endure.
