In your hurry to improve prospects you may be trading up too fast. The point is to get what you want without giving away what you already have.
Properly channeled anger makes for a terrific power source. Redirect yours from an “I’ve been wronged” lament to an “I’ll show them” resolve.
Opting to retreat isn’t cowardly. It’s prudent. Hopefully an embattled client or colleague will wise up and follow your lead.
Hurt feelings make everyone feel bad, which is why this isn’t the time to talk. Let things be for now and trust that your friendship will heal.

What felt like the last straw winds up being no big deal after all. Evidently your powers of endurance were greater than you knew.
