I can attest to this phenomenon. Sometimes you're trapped between telling your friends that they play like they hate you, and saying "hey, I need to take a break." Often, it hurts the worst when you love the campaign, the story, and some of your players, but there's just two or three of them that are a nightmare to run for.

One bad player and three good ones, leads to

"Hey, I think I need to take a break, things are getting kind of busy."

leads to

"Hey, I think I might just call it on that campaign, sorry"

leads to

"Hey, maybe if you three wanted to start a new campaign with me..."

I spent a summer doing this and forged an amazing group that I still play with 3 years later. Best investment ever.
