I'm Dr. Becky and this is good inside.

My name's Ethan.

I just celebrated one year with an amazing woman who has an incredible five-year-old and

I'm kind of overjoyed at the bond I'm building with them both. I've come into their

lives in motion and there's a lot of unknowns that I am slowly unpacking.

And so I'm just trying to like

be the best partner I can be, be the best loving adult figure I can be

while also making sure that my needs are met.

You know, I'm just giving me my honest reaction right away.

I've always been someone who's drawn to like questions and not answers.

And to me, the best it gets in life is like feeling like you're asking yourself

good questions that usually are unanswerable but like they kind of like the

question leads you down a certain path I just want to say from the start Ethan like I was like I've never even heard someone articulate like the questions of life like you just did and I really mean that and I actually imagine and I like for some reason I'm thinking about this I just want name it. I actually imagine there's people listening right now thinking

I wish my partner who I have biological children with.

Would be asking those questions,

how can I show up in a way and be a good partner

and be a really intentional loving adult to our kid

and how can I also do that while taking care of myself and being the best version of myself.

So I almost just want to like honor if that is feeling almost like triggering.

Just notice that.

Notice that?

Say hi to it.
