@Spee The easiest thing to do is have her setup her own iCloud account (AppleID). That way anything with her email address and/or phone number will be sent to her phone or devices only. That's what we do. You can even set it up so that your messages and emails can be sent to your other devices (iPad, laptop, etc) that she doesn't use. However, if someone sends a group message to both of you, both of you will get them on your devices regardless of whether you have separate iCloud accounts or not. I usually have to opt out if it's a group message and I don't want to participate.

What type of phone? If it’s an iPhone that suggests your phone is tied to her iCloud account.

My original message stated that both iPhones (11 & 12) are on the same account. Only recently I've begun to receive her text conversations on my message feed in conversations that I'm not included and I do not wish to see. What setting might I adjust to make it stop sharing?

@Spee Settings -> Messages -> Text Messaging Forwarding - check to see if her phone is listed. It shouldn't be. For me, I only have my MacBook Pro and my iPad. Both of which are tied to my iCloud account (phone number and email). Other than that, there is no specific "sharing" option on the iPhone.
I'd call Apple and have them go over your settings and your wife's settings with you. Are you sure that you're not included in a group message that was sent to her?
Just have her get her own iCloud account. That's the simplest thing to do. Oh, and iMessages go thru Apple's servers, not AT&T, so AT&T has nothing to do with iMessages.
