living with

Residing alongside someone

Living with means sharing a residence, especially with a romantic partner outside marriage: They've been living with each other for three years.

The phrase also describes ongoing conditions one must endure or accept: living with chronic pain, living with the consequences of your decisions.

To learn to live with something is to accept what cannot be changed.
