Can I get a restraining order against someone who lives with me?

Yes. You can. If this person commits a criminal offense against you, such as hitting, choking, throwing something at you, prevents you from calling 911 or the police, then you can try to file charges and if you are in fear for your safety, then a temporary order of protection will probably be issued by a judge. They are issued between married persons living together. So, of course they will issue against unmarried persons living together.
