Update on the thesis... and the marriage...
I should perhaps morph some posts together, instead of doing multiple posts.
Thesis: I have just been to see H, my supervisor. She is not the other H! But the other H told me this morning to set some goals and plan a timeline, even though it could be difficult with W. So I went to see H just now and suggested that. She said that my ultimate goal is getting my degree, unless I want to work in the department store for the rest of my life! I hadn't actually thought of it like this before as I have been too focussed on my thesis. I told her I wanted it completed by Christmas. She is going away from 17 December and she suggested I have my final draft to her by then. She will take it away with her and then send me any corrections. As she pointed out, it will not get marked before the end of January anyway so giving myself an extra month would be a good idea.
I am spending today on revisions of a previous chapter. I know I need to write new stuff, but I am brain dead at the moment because of exhaustion. Plus my mind is in turmoil. I think in my heart I have realised my marriage is not salvageable. I kinda hinted at that to W last night and he thinks that perhaps it is. So I suppose in essence, I have given him his final warning. I am not going to make any decisions until my thesis is finished, but it looks like next year could bring some changes in my life...

You need and deserve to make some changes in your life and I think sooner rather than later would be best. You really are living in an abusive situation. You just don't have physical bruising that shows. Just one hell of a lot of emotional battering that deson't show on the outside.
I know it's hard but work on the actual mechanics of parting company. Work out the practical stuff and deal with the emotional stuff later.
And, keep plodding on with that thesis.
Next year can be a new life for you in more ways than one!
