The grandmother is charged with the death of Paul Hanlon, who was found with a stab wound at their home in West Cowick, East Yorkshire.
On Saturday she appeared at Hull Magistrates' Court where she spoke only to confirm her name and date of birth.
She spent her 54th birthday alone and behind bars after being remanded in custody.
