I caught up with an old friend recently and she brought her fiance, but she did say that she would be out with him and was it ok if he came along. I said yes, even though it meant that I couldn't really talk about the things I wanted to talk about.
Maybe explicitly say that you do like her partner. And then frame it: you want to talk to your friend about your shared stuff and you don't want her partner to feel left out and also that it makes you feel a bit weird given how well you know your friend and how little you know her partner. I think you can't just make it about her girlfriend, because then she can say that that's ok and you'd have to change tack, which could seem awkward. "It would be great to have some one-on-one time with you."
