IF it is a hardship he can contact them it can be waived. Perhaps getting some support for how he feels will help him manage better.

Anyway, maybe if you try to have an honest talk where you acknowledge the additional pressure he is under, and clarify the most important needs, and then the things that you think you can be ok if he lets them slide sometimes, and then the things you can handle, he will feel more like a "team" ? I don't know your situation and how you have handled things, but I know what it is like to be married to someone with a disability.
Thanks. I don't think there's a chance my husband would be interested in something like that. We keep having talks about what I need from him...and I really think he does try...but I know he's frustrated by all of it. Not at me...just with the situation.
