In practice, this happens constantly. I'm the daughter, sister, and sister-in-law of doctors, and while names are not named, plenty gets discussed around the dinner table.

That's what's important, though - "names are not named." In the case of revealing GLO secrets, it's not as if a Greek hubby can tell his wife "Hey, hon, I know a fraternity that wears fucshia catsuits and neon yellow feather boas in their initiation ritual - but I'm not going to tell you which one ..." Completely different than revealing an unnamed patient's information, even if it's "Guess which member of the city council got a refill on their Prozac today?"
And I seriously doubt that a medical licensing review board would accept "But we're married, so we share everything" as a valid excuse for revealing confidential patient information ... the same should go for revealing GLO secrets, whether defunct or active.
