there's something to be said for having a place without your SO to talk about things that may be hurtful to hear for the spouse.

and as a SO she shouldn't be coming to closed meetings UNLESS she thinks she may have a drinking problem.

it's wonderful you have a supportive person in your life, but being joined at the hip isn't always the healthiest thing. hopefully she'll enjoy her 'own' time while you go to closed meetings alone. if she wants to use some of that time to check out Alanon, more power to her!
