Helena: Well it doesn’t sound like she was upset with you, do you think she was upset?

Tina: You know I had no clue, but it was the first night we didn’t say good night, I missed her. We usually spend some time talking in bed before falling asleep too.

Helena: Well was she just really tired?

Tina: Let me cut to the chase. She actually came to the office door to get me and say good night, but stopped short of coming in or knocking.

Helena: Well that seems odd, why would she do that?

Tina: You and I haven’t discussed this, but Josh wasn’t my only indiscretion. I was also cyber fucking this guy online. Bette found evidence of it in our office. I used to sneak out of bed and go online to chat with him.

Helena: Oh my, I had no idea.

Tina: Yea, I was really fucked up. I didn’t allow her to touch me, yet I’d rush to get cyber fucked by this dude. Helena I just wanted to cry when she told me. I’ve done so much damage to her it sometimes scares me that she’ll look at me one day and say why bother.

Helena: She’s never done that to you Tina and she never will. She didn’t when we dated. She didn’t when you ignored and mistreated her after the baby was born. She moved away when you told her she wasn’t what you wanted and from what you told me she moved away, but was still taking care of you financially and never moved on with another relationship. She’s not leaving you. You better get your shit together and make her feel loved and your priority. It also seems she told you about this incident as soon as she had a chance today. She didn’t blame or accuse you, but just shared her concern.

Tina: I know, I just feel so awful when that behavior is put back in her face.

Helena: Bette has an amazing heart and love for you. Truthfully as much as a came to care for you Tina, part of my efforts with you were to cause her grief, pain and embarrassment, yet she’s become my friend and trusts you with me. She isn’t petty Tina, you and I had the market cornered on that. She essentially had a flashback, she wasn’t blaming or accusing you, just letting you know she had a moment. I bet she tried to stay awake to talk to you last night, but fell asleep; even you said you lost track of time. She didn’t wake you this morning because she had no idea what time you went to bed. Tina once again stop the pitty party and just love your woman; she’s a jewel: hot, sweet and principled. Most of us would just die to have a partner like that.
