take up with
Begin spending time
To take up with someone is to begin associating with them, often romantically or as companions: She took up with a musician after the divorce.
The phrase sometimes carries a note of disapproval, suggesting the association is ill-advised or beneath the person: He's taken up with a rough crowd.
Less commonly, to take something up with someone means to raise a matter for discussion: I'll take it up with the manager.
