What is another word for live-in lovers?
Pronunciation: [lˈa͡ɪvɪn lˈʌvəz] (IPA) 
Live-in lovers is an unconventional term commonly used to denote a romantic couple who share a living arrangement. However, there are several synonyms and euphemisms for this term, each with its own connotations and nuances. Cohabiting partners or cohabitants are the most widely used synonyms and are considered a neutral term. Unmarried partners, domestic partners, or significant others are words used to define the relationship of two adult persons living together, but not married. Others call it shacking up, which may sound a bit archaic and derogatory. The term bedfellows is also used implying the emotional and physical intimacy with no explicit reference to living arrangements. Whatever the term, what matters is the love and commitment they share.
