Thesis Adviser relationship... do I have to do everything?
While I admire my thesis advisor, I question some of the changes she is asking me to make. The changes might make the thesis interesting and different, but the time required to make these changes may force me to miss my deadline for submission. Can I ask her to accept something if it is "good enough"?
This thesis is for my Masters and I have no intention of going for the PhD. I really appreciate the supportive answers so far!

You are in a tricky situation. Sometimes advisors see it as their job to challenge students as much as possible. Tell her that you under a timeline for graduating and ask her if these changes are required. If you tell you have to graduate, she may be more willing to compromise on some of the changes. Good luck!

If you are talking PhD, then anything you do to irk her may delay the calling of your review committee. For a Master's you can push back a little harder.
Can you justify that the extent of the existing thesis is sufficient without the extra scope for which she is asking? If it is not definitely yes, meet her at least half way.

tell this female precisely the variety you experience and what you like and want in this relationship. understanding the place you stand along with her is 0.5 the conflict. guy-up, you are able to no longer stay you life by using worrying what your friends think of.
