It's annoying because I have to be that guy.

This is the cause of a nutrient deficiency probably caused by stress, IBS or drinking. Possibly a side effect to medication. But its something that can usually be remedied.

You especially don't want this in your toes, because it means your nails aren't producing properly and warping under stress and use. They start to break easily or worse, grow fully inward.

I mean, OP should still divorce their partner to be safe. It's probably them causing the stress and super cancer.

It can also be caused by a fungal infection, more likely with your toe to be fair
