Does this dedication make sense to you?

My editor and I have been going back and forth on my dedication. It makes perfect sense to me, not to him. I wanted to get an outside opinion

Originally it was:

To the women who want to bring back yearning, I see you

He said yearning was too vague so I changed it to:

To women who want to bring back men who yearn, i see you

He said it still doesnt make sense. I think it makes logical sense considering it is a romantasy. Thoughts?

Is it normal to feel defensive/discouraged with receiving edits on your book? How do you deal with it?

I have an editor that Ive been going back and forth with. Their edits make sense but some if them or some of their corrections tend to rub me the wrong way. It makes me feel defensive even though I know they are just there to help. How do you cope with that? I have other books ive been writing too, just really been in that kick lately, but sometimes I find the edits of the main book fan be discouraging to write the others. Any advice on how to deal with that?

Husband isnt happy where he is at in life, it's getting to the point where it makes me contemplate leaving

My (28f) husband (32m) have been together for 5 years and married for one. Ive always been the breadwinner and the last 4 years ive been supporting us entirely. It's okay, I dont mind it bc he helps a lot around the house. We recently moved to a new state because of my job, he has minimal family here and I have none. So we dont really know anyone. Before he used to have sever depression, every day he would just walk arpund with a cloud over his head. He came off his adhd meds and it was like i had my husband back. Moving away from all the family drama, new house, new start, not on meds, i thought it would be great. He hasnt had a solid job in 4 years, before he did photos so his income was on and off. Since we moved he sold his camera amd hasnt found a job. He gets these waves of severe depression about where he is at in life and some home sickness. Before ive pushed for therapy, even went as far as finding clinics because i thought maybe he just needed that boost, but it didnt work and I was starting to lose myself. So I withdrew. He mentioned maybe doing a trade school. I said he just needs to make sure it's something he wants to do (he dropped from programming boot camp prior and got a real estate license before. The real estate didnt work out well​). Because, in my defense, I dont want to fork out money on something that's going to be wasted. He replied with he doesnt know what he wants. So I suggest therapy again. Like usual, he said he promised hed look and he didnt. This came up again today. Now it's left me frustrated. When he isnt feeling like this, everything is amazing. He makes me happy and I love him dearly. But, as terrible as this sounds, when he brings up that subject of he doesnt know what he wants and he doesnt like where he is at, it makes me really mad. To the point where it makes me contemplate on leaving him. I just dont know what to do. On one hand im kind of tired of hearing it for the past 4 years. I dont see him trying to fix it. On the other, I still love him dearly at the end of the day. I dont know what to do :( I want to build a life with him, have kids and be happy. But my patience is starting to dwindle

How to cope with feeling like you look overweight when you're not

Im aware im not overweight, I know that. But my arms make me feel like I do, more so my underarms and tris. I feel like i look overweight. I know im healthy. I work out 5 times a week, do anywhere from 15-30 minutes of hiit cardio. But even though im not overweight, I just feel like it. And it gets discouraging when I struggle to try to tone and maybe lose another 10 pounds. (Thats my goal, I dont want to go any more than that. Im 165, 5'10 woman). But sometimes when I look in the mirror or dont see a change, I just feel horrible and I know I gotta change that mindset. I didnt realize it was bdd until recently. I am trying to get to therapy, but i have to wait. So I was hoping that maybe there would be a few kind people on here to spare some advice
