I'm co-writing my thesis with a wonderful, intelligent, complementary peer (ISTJ). Things have been going swimmingly (I spewed ideas, she culled the good ones and made them stronger, I did the writing, she kept us on task, etc.) However, our last draft was killed, absolutely brutally murdered , by the head of my track. We have only one week left for rewrites, and she has unexpected house guests or something of that nature and just wants to get the rewrites done as quickly and efficiently as possible.
I don't. I want to spend every waking moment on the thing. It's our thesis, for craps sakes.
I'm more than willing to do most of the work, much more than willing! But I know that she'll think that she isn't doing her part and feel absolutely terrible. I'm afraid that she might even go so far as to resent all the extra work and ideas I want to put into our thesis. I want us to continue our great relationship, but I don't know how to handle this exactly, so I thought I'd come to NFs for some guidance.
