In any case, regardless of the type of relationship, the golden rule is the campsite rule, suitably generalized to all relationships: strive to leave your partner(s) in a better shape than you found them.

ie. You should dump them as quickly as possible - while there is still a chance that the amazing sex offset the deterioration from aging. (You can stay with them a bit longer if you encourage them to exercize more, eat better and you give them a supply of tretinoin.)

Sarcastic, but I think it can be made into a fair point: You're not always in control of whether someone gets better off or worse off, and is it fair to expect you to be?

Sarcastic

No, ironic, facetious or merely silly. Sarcasm is different.
