I’m sure you feel strongly about being ‘dumped’ as you say. I suppose I should bear some ill will towards you for that choice of words, but I don’t.

Also, far be it from me to force any kind of bigger picture down your throat; but if that were you, a long way from home with only a few trusted friends to call on in time of need, you might feel differently about who had been metaphorically dumped by whom.
