Worst ME couple

[Kalimac]

I agree with Lush...I'm reading the Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales right now, and Morgoth and Ungoliant are definitely the couple you wouldn't want to live downstairs from. Imagine them fighting in the kitchen. Ungoliant has a definite advantage in the number of pots she can throw simultaneously. Bet you Ann Landers would have a few words on seeking counseling for Shelob too. ("Children of inter-species marriages often experience severe stress, especially when their parents have a failed marriage. You are repeating your mother's mistakes with men.") Ah, if only Frodo and Sam *knew* what Shelob had been through, they'd be much more understanding...

And for might-have-been couples - I'll be evil and say Saruman and Sauron. Imagine the eternal backbiting between those two. "Look, nobody *forced* you to join me. If you miss those White Council friends of yours so much, why don't you go join them?" "I can't anymore, they all hate me because of you! [sob]"
