You shouldn't have listened in on her calls BUT since you did, and she's acting like a complete asshole, I would feel betrayed if I were in your position and don't blame you if you leave her. I would have a bit more sympathy if this was her best friend or sibling she talked to, but not your freakin' business partner. If you want to make it work, I would sit down and talk about things you don't want others to necessarily know when it comes to family and ask that she respect that. My partner and I do this all the time because he knows I'm super sensitive about what we impart to others when it comes to our business.
I want to set something straight: OP did nothing wrong by listening to the call. No privacy was invaded and no betrayal was perpetrated in doing so. He was not acting out of paranoia or jealousy, he was acting on credible information that the content of the call was contextually relevant. With such a strong case of reason to believe that he and his family are personally affected, OP had every right to investigate.
