Are the following sentences correct and natural? Are there any other ways to express the same meanings?

1) He is indulgent to her faults.
2) He is indulgent to her bad ear for music.

They're not natural. Did you make them up?

We might say "indulgent of." But "He indulges . . . ." is more conversational.

But even then, indulging someone's bad ear doesn't work. Tolerate, maybe. He could even be amused by it. But he wouldn't indulge it.
