Perhaps you were overcommitting or they were overcommitting and certain deliverables aren't being delivered, or aren't what you expected. Or maybe this is one of those "learn and build" situations where you learn this lesson and use it to improve your relationship moving forward. Or maybe, it's just not a good fit and both parties need to stop forcing the relationship.
