Ross

I believe the answer is:

bemuse

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'muddle' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'live with an inspiring woman' is the wordplay.
'live' becomes 'be' (synonyms).
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'an inspiring woman' becomes 'emus' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'be' going around 'emus' is 'BEMUSE'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bemuse that I've seen before include "Stupefy, puzzle" , "Perplex" , "Bewilder or baffle" , "Muddle or stupefy" , "Confuse, bewilder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
