This jumped out at me because I said the same thing about my ex seven years ago. I rationalized her problem was not bad enough as long as it was only occasionally, and for a few years it was. But the problem got worse and at the same time my tolerance for it decreased. By the time I had enough... I was sick and tired of having a gut full of being sick and tired. At that point there was no changing my mind as to what had to happen.
We're divorced.
