Which President had the worst wife?

Abe Lincoln? When he was writing and reading the Gettysburg address was he secretly worrying that Mary would jump from a balcony with a rope tied to her wrist? Or, did Mary just have premonitions about balconies? Lincoln chased and courted Mary Todd at length to catch her. Was she disturbed or did she just have a hard unlucky life? Abraham had his issues too, perhaps a good match after all.

Bill Clinton? It can be difficult to have a wife who is that much more intelligent than you. Forget the college grades, I mean real life stuff.

What about all the pretty women who married an ambitious man to get ahead in life after he wooed her? Capable women who were saddled with the yoke of the burden of femininity in less progressive times, like the 18th, 19th, 20th or 21th centuries.

Which President had the worst wife; nay, which first lady was married to the worst President?
