1. That obligatory thing you have to do so your s/o know you still love them.

Athena: hey you coming out tonight?
Toni: nah I can’t

Athena: lame
Toni: gotta spend time with the hubs. Paying that spousal fee 🙄

Athena: cant you just suck his dick and call it good? Find a way!
Toni: he’d need like 4 so no

Gf posts pic on insta
Me: better comment so she don’t flip (aka spousal fee)

2. When you get downgraded because you in trouble

Example: had plans to eat at In ‘n Out but I pissed him off so now we at McDonald’s.

the act of using the media, such as youtube, to ruin a spouse's reputation...
Dude 1: Tricia Walsh Smith has been ordered to leave her New York home...
Dude 2:Yeah! I hearded that the videos she posted on youtube about her husband amounted to "spousal abuse"...

Used by a spouse to subtly persuade the significant other to do something. Similar to "The Spousal We."
The Spousal I: "I think I'm going to the gym," or "I think I'm going to start eating healthier foods."
Reality: "Lose some damn weight, bitch!"

This is where a husband will use up something from its rightful place and the second that the space is open, a wife will fill it with something else.. I use my last can of soup - wallah! cake mix takes its place! Where was the spot for the cake mix before? Why ...does it need to be placed where the soup is supposed to be??? This works with anything in the house.
I no longer have a place to put any of my stuff due to spousal sprawl.

When your husband/wife will not feed you or keep you warm knowing that you are cold as hell at the moment !!
Don’t Get You A Chynia cause she won’t feed you and will push you away if you are cold at the moment now that’s spousal neglect.

The complicated excitement a man feels when seeing his wife (or girlfriend) in a physical altercation with another woman. The condition is heightened when there is the real possibility for intimate sensual contact between the two combatants.
"Hey come quick, Jen had it with your wife's attitude and it looks like she has Lesley pinned down. You might want to end this."

"Are you kidding?"

"Spousal catfight arousal?"

"Damn straight. I need a closer view."

This is where your wife will use something in the house and move it to a new location instead of putting it back where it is supposed to go (even though it may have been in that same spot for 10 years). This works with anything in the house, but Tools and flashlights are favorites for most wives.
My tools were in the toolbox, but due to spousal property migration, I can't find a damn thing in its place any more. "Honey, were is my freegin screwdriver?!"
