The "used to + verb" expression can be used whenever an action happened in the past, but no longer happens now. Here, "used to live together" means that in before, they lived together, but they don't anymore. Ex: Before I bought a car, I used to walk to work everyday. Ex: I used to like candy but now I don't.
