Look at the context, particularly 'no one to <verb> with'; so your blue highlighting is wrong in linking "with" and "for".
A "lie-in" is when you stay in bed for an hour or two longer than usual.
Going "through the bills with" someone is looking at them one at a time and discussing them.
"Making up with" is settling a dispute.
