Shared bed and board refers to the act of living together, sharing both living quarters and daily meals. It's a term used to describe a close living situation where people share resources and space for a prolonged period of time. Some synonyms for shared bed and board include cohabitation, living together, sharing a house, roommates, and being domestic partners. Cohabitation refers to people living together intimately but not necessarily as a marriage or domestic partnership. Roommates share living quarters and split rent and expenses. Being domestic partners involves a long-term committed romantic relationship where the pair shares living arrangements. Regardless of the term used, shared bed and board imply creating a sense of togetherness and intimacy among the tenants.
