Ask Is there a right way to end a freelancing relationship with a client who is difficult?

[Edward22]

Ending things with a client is never a comfortable conversation, but sometimes it is the only sensible thing left to do when the relationship has stopped working. Some freelancers hold on too long because they are worried about the income, and that often makes things worse over time because the stress piles up. Being clear and professional when you end a working relationship matters because the freelancing world is small and how you leave says a lot about you. What do you think is the best way to close things out with a client who has been making the work harder than it should be?
