I can see why you're worried about your number being in her phones.
I've been thinking about this some more, and I realised I've never done the letting-down-gently thing. Usually if I don't want to see someone I just don't call them (which is not to be confused with not calling because I'm feeling down or I'm very busy at work or whatever!). Admittedly, I don't very often feel that I want to let a friendship slide.
You do have a lot to deal with at the moment, and maybe it's possible just to let this friendship slide without saying anything about your concerns. It might be more gentle than raising the subject of her 'job'. It's not quite as honest, but maybe it's OK.
It's really a tough call. I hope some other people respond. I think you're right - a bit of brainstorming is called for. The more brains the better!
