I switched over to a vinegar tea tree oil water solution for general cleaning countertops and stuff but even that in our bathroom can cause my eyes to swell completely shut if I attempt to do too much in 1 day.
He is a 6 foot 200+ lb Tasmanian devil tornado. Im on my second year of not working because I havent been getting better basically. My immune system is extremely compromised, I tried going back to work a couple times, which led to me getting more sick.....
At the beginning of our relationship I did support him financially b/c he was just starting at his company.........so when I got sick, him supporting me wasnt an issue. Money for us in general is not a stressor at all. When I was providing for him, I still did all the housework by myself.
I know what you mean like under normal circumstances. But he hasnt lifted a finger since I got here and I've asked for his help numerous times. He just wont do anything until Im actually in the hospital or something equally drastic, like if Im on a round of steroids/antihistamines that make me so weak I cant even walk to the washroom by myself sort of thing.

use the money to buy a dish washer,
also if money isnt tight, it's not expensive to hire someone to come in and clean the house once a week
