I think you need to have a talk with hubby and let him know you would really appreciate him getting more involved again, maybe to the point of being the nurse from hell and demand he take it back. I don't know what he was like pre Tx but I was the type that wanted to start doing everything I used to do just to prove to myself that I was not going to let this cancer take anymore of my life than need be. Maybe he's gotten used to you doing what he used to be responsible for.
Re your friends, you are obviously very frustrated with things "at home" so to speak and you don't seem able to vent even normal frustration let alone all the other stuff that's been accumulating so it can easily affect your outside relationships as well. If your life was rolling along great would you have had the same argument with your close friend?
Remember we're not trained pros but we are trying to help so I hope I helped in someway.
