'My biggest concern, obviously, is that her health problems are increasing.'

My biggest concern, obviously, is that her health problems are increasing -- frequent colds , coughing while she sleeps, snoring terribly. We now sleep in separate beds at times just so I can get some sleep. When I bring up the subject of quitting, she gets defensive. Her mother will no longer talk to her about it, and she wants her to quit even more than I do.
