Same extension but using call waiting...

So when your girlfriend calls while you are talking on the phone, you can 
see the incoming call and callerID, and then either ignore it and let it 
bounce to vmail or put your wife on hold and take the call from your 
girlfriend.

It really depends on your relationships.
