Ellen: Exactly, you wanted her to see them; you knew she was coming back to the bedroom to move out. You wanted to make sure she stayed out.
Tina: No, that wasn’t it.
Ellen: Well, it didn’t matter anyway, she was gone. Told you it was your house you could do whatever, it didn’t matter, right?
Tina: Well at that point she’d already left and now I know was staying with her sister. By that night she’d also already packed up her things. She’d stopped wearing her wedding band and didn’t even pack it. She left it in the drawer, right next to mine. She didn’t even want to take it with her. She put it in a drawer and hid it away, like she wanted to forget it.
Ellen: So she put you away neatly you decided to make one last mess of things?
Tina: No, I wanted Josh, I really did. I liked flirting with him. I liked the way he felt.
Ellen: You were married with a child in a relationship recovering from one infidelity. How did flirting with Josh and ultimately having sex with him in your home fit into that relationship?
Tina: Bette used to take care of me make me safe. She stopped doing that. I had another beautiful, wealthy woman when Bette and I split before. She couldn’t hold a candle to Bette so I knew another woman wasn’t my answer. So I figured I’d try men again. I wanted someone to take charge to take care of me in a way. Daddyof2 let me think about being with a man again. Josh was an easy target. I knew I could get him to want me.
Ellen: Did he take care of you? Did he make you feel safe?
Tina: That first night at the house he took very good care of me. He took his time with me. He was gentle. He felt so good, so warm, so comfortable. Over time I realized it wasn’t going to be a relationship. That he was a 29 year old Hollywood guy on the rise. He’s not interested in a ready made family, heck he only wanted to come over when Angelica was asleep.
Ellen: So do you want a relationship with a man? Someone to take care of you; make you feel safe?

Great update!! So heartbreaking! Hope these two can find their way back to each other!
Woo, progress for B&T&Boo!
waoooooo what a post this was just… i dn’t know mixed feeling; hearbreaking for the pain Bette and Tina are feeling right now and happiness of seeing the support of gang, the love they still share with each other. oh this story is wicked. Can’t wait for the next post lol PPVS
You know, they both made exacltly the same mistake…Bette was emotionally distraught and in a downward spiral when she chose to have her affair with Candace. Tina too was in an emotional downward spiral when she chose Josh. They both chose sex as a release to their relationship that was wrought with problems instead of choosing each other to lean on and work through things. You are doing a fabulous job with this story Lwsho…choosing to present both their sides through a therapist was a great idea. I really hope that their will be a happy ending to this…because I am an unashamed Tibetter! Hoping for another update soon.
Amazing update. I am estatic that there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel. PPS.
Great Update!!!! Thank you Have a safe trip.
Thanks to soo many of you for reading this. I wanted to post it before leaving, and didn’t get a chance to edit it well. I’ve cleaned up a lot of typos. jp22: Ellen has Tina’s best interest at heart. She says some of the same things Helena said a few chapters back, but Tina did not get subtle, hence the stronger approach. Keep in mind Robin Wiliams’ character in Good Will Hunting. At times he was rough on Matt Damon’s character, at other times gentle. There were a lot of layers to get through; in the end progress was made. Let’s hope this works for Tina. Bette therarpist is softer, remember Bette came to her as essentially a grieving parent; completely different set of issues and approach needed.
Hey gang! I have intense auntie duty this week and can’t quite do that and get some writing done this week. I have parts done, but not enough to post. Hope to get something posted by early next week. Between my long drives to pick up and return my nephew, work and our days together the story is taking a back seat.
This was an AWESOME update. I’m glad Tina realized that she couldn’t have her cake and eat it too. I want Bette to spend a day with Angie on her birthday. I love this story and B&T. Have a safe road trip and come back soon.
That was truly heartbreaking. I hope that even though they have hurt each other so much, this is the beginning of baby steps towards one another.
I love the conversations with their respectives shrinks :)
I love the way you’re unraveling Bette and Tina – there’s much more here – more realistic and thoughtful than the glaring voids left by the actual show.
I know their respective therapists seem to be helping… but Tina’s therapist, I dunno. Calling her straight-talking is being kind, the woman seemed damned near unprofessional with her harshness. I’d have been out the door after the first session, let alone paying for six weeks of that kind of treatment! I guess Tina, on some level, thinks she deserves it, or needs it. As long as it helps them move forward… I did like that Tina sent the flowers and the note and they were well-received by Bette. A nice gesture, and it’s progress. Thanks for the update and have a safe trip. Cheers
That was deep and I loved it. I’m glad Tina came back to her senses. Be safe! :)
really enjoyed reading that, i too hope that this starts communication between them again and that at least boo can be back in bettes life, pps!
I love your story and it is so much better than the show……more in depth and it explains so much more. They have miles to go. The dueling therapy sessions are a great way to show character development.thanks
Great update and I hope this is a beginning of them getting back together. I know it’s going to be slow but it will happen right :) Thank you again for this story :)
I read this update several times, waiting ffor a new one! :) And I must say that I don’t understand why Bette is so nice towards Tina. She should be more hard. :) I hope she will be, because I love drama!! :) Anyways, it’s a great update and a great story, and I an’t wait for your next post!
Its sad to see they not together!
