Ask HN: What to do if you are ridiculously burnt out?

I'm in a partnership project where I am the developer and my partner is the marketer, and it hasn't felt like a partnership at all.

The app is written in AngularJS and Node-Webkit (gosh, I regret not using React), and I'm bad with time which my partner understands, but every week asks me to get it done over the weekend and it's been a month of that so far.

I'm working 7 days a week 10+ hours a day and I can't handle it, I can't eat from the stress getting to my stomach, and I can't sleep because I always think about the project. On top of that, I'm the only one expected to work these ridiculous hours, everyone else is usually 8 hour week days.

I just want to get this project done, start making money but also nicely (without explaining all the technical details) why it is taking so long.

What should I do in this situation?

Thank you in advance!

EDIT: Grammar fixes and separated in paragraphs.
