My dissertation advisor and I have fundamentally different ideas about what my research should become and we've been dancing around this disagreement for eight months through polite revisions and careful language. I can feel us both getting frustrated but neither of us is naming what's actually happening and I'm supposed to defend in six months.
More people experience this than they realize.
You and your advisor are quietly fighting over your research and neither of you will say it out loud.
