Lives with girl: shares perhaps? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

issue

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

'shares perhaps?' is the definition.
'issue' can be an answer for 'shares' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'perhaps?' bit.

'lives with girl' is the wordplay.
'lives' becomes 'is' ('be' can be a synonym of 'live').
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'girl' becomes 'sue' (girl's name).
'is'+'sue'='ISSUE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for issue that I've seen before include "Give or send out" , "Offspring or one of publication" , "Point in dispute" , "One's offspring" , "Topic; give out" .)
