Yes, the "Domestic partnership" is a legal thing.  Probably not under that
name, though.  So two people can basically share their lives and have all the
legal protections/responsibilities of a couple that is "married".

But such an arrangement might not be supported by all companies when it comes
to benefits.  But that would be pretty rare today.
