Help breaking up with a contractor. I pay cash to a guy that mows a lot of neighbourhood lawns to do my lawn, but his quality has been dropping, sometimes he doesn’t show, and I found a real company that gives the same price. How should I go about telling him I don’t need his services? Kinda nervous since I own out of state and have to do this via phone, and he lives nearby.

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and it's led me to a difficult decision. I think it's best if we end our relationship as I believe it's time for both of us to move on and find happiness separately.

I want you to know that this isn't an easy choice for me. However, I don't think we're compatible in the long run

I wish you all the best for your future endeavors and hope you find the happiness you deserve. Take care.
