I think that you are "reading into" that passage. You make it sound like the woman is "commanded to be" weaker. However, that is not so. The only command in that biblical passage is to the husband. The husband is commanded to treat her [with extra consideration, as if she is weaker]
Please look it up.
1 Peter, 3:7

Reguardless... even if you stick by honoring your husband as "the head of the home"... that doesnt mean you cant ask him for your needs.

Being "the leader", doesnt mean "everyone else has to be silent".
A good leader, listens to what those who follow him need.

To do that... he has to fully understand your needs. Only way that happens, is if you tell him. He is commanded to serve... Not "to be a mindreader".

Yes, "you've told him already".
However, as I, and others have told you.. you arent telling him your critical needs, in a way he really understands how important it is.
Once he understands, it is his responsability to do something about it.
However, making him understand it is important, is your responsability.

It cant be his.. because how can he know "it's important for him to understand something", if the biggest thing he "isnt understanding", is, "This is important" !!!
