No, I know, I was answering to @soundslikejoe.You make good points. I didn’t say my clients were an asshole though, just that the process is incredibly difficult due to endless conflicting ideas and methods.
I mean I get angry too when it happens. But framing the whole thing that way is draining and gets you jaded.
And it's also not completely true or fair to a client most of the time. I try my best to empathize with my client and find a way out of the situation that works for everyone involved. It's hard to do that properly when angry.
So, I'd suggest you think of some way to communicate properly and diplomatically that you can't sustain the situation any longer and you need to get paid extra and also a different way for them to handle feedback to be able to keep writing revisions.
When you do that you'll know for sure if the client is an asshole or not by their response and then you can choose what to do with that information. Leaving the project is always an option.
