Bette and Tina enter the office, both unsure of what they are about to experience. With trepidation each shakes the hand of their new therapist, Dr. Jennifer Laurel.
Dr. Laurel invites each woman to sit down, which they do. After some pleasantries and small talk and confirmation of the basic relationship information she says in a very kind manner ‘let’s get right into it’. Oh, before we get started though, I have to tell you the guidelines of this space and these sessions:
‘In this space it is very important that you honor and respect each other at all times. You may hear something from your partner that is new to you or that you disagree with. Respect each other enough to allow your partner to complete her thought without interruption. Some of the things said may be hard to hear, but try to keep an open mind and an open heart.’
Bette, let’s start with you. Tell me how you feel in your relationship with Tina.
Oh, ok. Our relationship is not working right now, which is why we are here. I have felt disconnected from Tina for a long time now. I am not sure where to begin. I guess the beginning will do.
When Tina and I started dating it was special and intense. I was attracted to Tina because she was definitely different from the previous women that I had dated.
Tina was an independent, self-sufficient woman with her own life. I was attracted not only to her beauty and personality, but also the fact that she didn’t need me. She didn’t need me to take care of her.
My previous girlfriends were always so needy. Whether it was attention, status, money, or whatever each of them needed something from me. I always felt exhausted and drained in those relationships and then I would lose interest in them. Now don’t get me wrong those relationships always stroked my ego, but you need more than that to build a life.
Well when I met Tina, she was a breath of fresh air. (Tina smiles sitting next to Bette) She was her own woman and she didn’t need me for anything. I felt that she could love me just for me. For the first time I felt understood and appreciated. I also felt safe. I thought that this was the woman that could and would take care of me and I would do the same for her. This relationship would not be one-sided like my others. It was perfect. We got along well, communicated well, and made love often. I couldn’t have asked for more. I was in heaven.

Three times a week? …Photography must be a good business to be in! …as Tim Gunn says, “Make it work!” … Thanks!
Seems it’s going to take more work than I imagined, too. Well, I hope they’re willing to put in the effort because I always think these two belong together!
it will be hard because they don’t talk to each other, therapy can only help so much, so i hope it will help them talk
This is gonna take a miracle…does Tina realy want to be there? Dosen’t seem like it.
I can’t believe Bette lets Tina smoke in her beloved car. They were really nasty and hurtful to one another. How can they go home together and act all ‘normal’???PPS.
Hey, feel free to let the chapters flow like water. it’s better than sitting and staring at what you have so far and realizing your brain is constipated (I’m being serious here). Loved the name of the doctor. ;) Bette really shouldn’t feel bad for feeling as she does. it sounds like Tina is always looking for a fight and Bette has no choice but to stand down if she doesn’t feel like fighting back. And WTF, Tina. I smoke and even during my most intense therapy sessions I’ve never asked to light up, although if things were REALLY tough my therapist would probably say we could go outside and experience a calmer atmosphere.
Well i could imagine couples therapy can get like this. I am loving this. Can’t wait for more therapy sessions.
how nasty….they been carrying around them nasty thoughts about each other no wander thy can’t get it on…fix it moho..
If Tina thought this was hard, wait until she has to admit to her 2 affairs. She seemed very defensive in her rant at Bette.
Tina seems very defensive…..does she really want to make it work, or is she more interested in placing blame on Bette? Will she tell Bette about the affair? keep them flowing and I’ll be reading!
I’ve been enjoying your fic and needed to comment. I felt that Bette’s discription while painful for Tina was never nasty, she was just talking about her feelings..Therapist always says Use I statements!, Tina..well Tina went for name calling and finger pointing…not cool…I agree..with who ever said Tina doesn’t seem like she wants to be there very much…I think Tina reacted the way she did because she feels guilty…THanks keep them coming!
