spouse

Description

A spouse is a 24/7 judgment robot stamped into existence by the contract called marriage. They collect your life habits involuntarily and sometimes slam you with ruthless reviews. A mystical being that lures you with sweet words while delivering bills and penalties in the same breath. Their purpose is often revealed as the withdrawal reminder from your bank account. A two-faced coin that bestows both love and wrath simultaneously.
