If you’re going to give, then give completely. Holding back a little may seem prudent, but it’s not worth it and undermines the gesture.
It takes two to fight and one to make peace. You’re in a better psychic space than a loved one, so be sympathetic. It matters more than you know.
If you’re going to cut the cloth to fit the coat then make sure it’s a comfortable fit. You want something you can live with, not squeeze into.
You’ve been patient and loyal, so it’s time to find out what the other party does to merit it. If it’s less than satisfactory then say so.
You’re annoyed that you had to go around in circles only to end up where you began, but at least you arrived!
Nobody can be more surprised than you that you’re changing a firmly established position, but this only proves how committed you are to doing the right thing.
