Mr. Griffin is correct.  Here is the first usage of SWMBO from the book
"She" by H. Rider Haggard who also wrote "King Solomon's Mines":

"What is the color of the men?" said a deep voice in
answer.

"White is their color."

"Slay not," was the reply. "Four suns since was the
word brought to me from  She-who-must-be-obeyed
, 'White men come; if white men come, slay them not.
Let them be brought to the land of She-who-must-
be-obeyed.' Bring forth the men, and let that
which they have with them be brought forth also."

From the book "She", by H. Rider Haggard. "She" is short for SWMBO, in the
book and film...
