Worst writer to be married to:
There's an argument that Naipaul's cruelty to his first wife speeded her death (she kind of gave up fighting cancer). Naipaul himself admitted it. “It could be said that I had killed her. It could be said. I feel a little bit that way.”

Unless she stopped treatment, “fighting” in the context of cancer is meaningless. And also kind of shitty considering the number of people who “fight” their hardest and die anyway.
-
My understanding is that when cancer returned she didn't seek treatment.

It’s worse to be killed than to be kind-of killed. Not a choice I’d like to be given, to be sure.
