Wheelchair challenges

My significant other is in a wheelchair and is unable to move themselves. We're based out of NYC so it's always a walk / roll to get to grand central and a process to get on the train.

The ramps rarely work / are often broken. Conductors are nowhere to be found and

The first 5-10 minutes are always stressful and spent trying to make sure we don't get people's suitcases bashed into my partners feet by people trying to make their way down the train platform.

All of this is fine / the reality of having a wheelchair in NYC. The problem becomes with all of this going on remembing to activiate the ticket before boarding. I have a monthly pass so it's just not a consideration. My partner doesn't.

It just adds insult to injury to after all of that stress of getting the wheelchair onto a crowded train with no help to pay an $8 fine if I forgot in the rush to activate the ticket right away.

I don't know. Maybe I'm asking for too much but it'd just be nice for once for MTA to not treat the disabled like second class citizens.

Weaponized incontinence

I see this unfortunately posted here from time to time, and I'm not sure if I may be a victim here.

My beloved husband is generally pretty friendly and eager to please, and 100% housebroken, but I've noticed, whenever I scold him or tell him no, the frequency of "accidents" goes up meaningfully.

At first I thought it was stress from not liking the feeling that people are mad at him. But another post made me start to wonder if maybe he has more control over it than we are giving him credit and it's a subtle way of protesting.

Any tips to dealing with this?
