Somebody you just can't live without? (8)

I believe the answer is:

roommate

(Other definitions for roommate that I've seen before include "Fellow lodger" , "I have to live with him" , "Stable companion" , "One shares your accommodation" , "Person with whom one shares" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
