Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald
The marriage was so dysfunctional, Hemingway said Zelda criticized Fitzgerald's, ahem, size just to destroy him.
"[W]hile drunk, the Fitzgeralds' idea of amusing behavior was to collect everyone's watch and jewelry and boil them in a can over the stove; or to call out the fire department--upon the arrival of which Zelda, pointing to her left breast, would claim that the fire was in her heart; or to destroy apartments, their own and other people's; or to insult servants, friends, and anyone else in sight, with Scott often ending the evening by getting in a fist fight, which he would inevitably lose. Not quite, the Fitzgeralds, what we should call today a 'fun couple.'"
"The Fitzgeralds, Scott and Zelda, were to drinking what Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were to dancing."
