Tina: My declaration that I wanted a man was wrong. It was twisted and ultimately I was kind of perverse.
Bette: Tina, being heterosexual isn’t perverse, I don’t believe that and you can’t either.
Tina: No, I don’t believe that nor did I mean that. I knew that I loved you even when I was being a bitch at the end, I knew that I loved you. It is perverse to choose the one thing that you know will destroy your dream and I did it on purpose. I chose to have a man. I had him in our home and ultimately in our bed. I’m so sorry Bette. He was not in our bed before you left, that is what I was trying to say at the beach that day.
Bette: Tina, I don’t care if he did you on the damn table, you brought someone else into our home to have sex. You didn’t even have the decency to wait until I’d moved out. You just had to throw it in my face, laid those condom wrappers out in the one room you knew I had enter.
Tina: No baby, I wasn’t that devious just careless with those wrappers. I’m sorry I really didn’t intend for you to see them.
Bette: I wasn’t allowed to touch my wife, but this joker had a frigand party up in there. How many damn condoms did he need?
Tina: Bette, please don’t torture yourself. I was the idiot, I was mean, spiteful and depressed too. Letting him have his way with me was a mistake that I cannot take back. The saddest part is I asked for it. I practically threw myself at him. He didn’t come after me until I made it clear that I wanted to be hunted. I toyed with him and in the end I got played, deservedly so.
Bette: So you wanted to talk. We are talking, but cut to the chase Tina, what the hell do you want from me?
Tina: A chance.
Bette: To break my heart all over again? To mistreat me daily? What the hell kind of chance?
Tina: To be your partner again. To show you that I can be trusted. A chance to show you that I care. This week has been beyond my wildest dreams. You’ve allowed me into your home and treated me with so much care, even with all of this unsaid between us. I know that you are polite, but our connection is back. You know it and I know it. Please lower the wall Bette, let me in just a little at a time. I’m willing to earn it. I never should have let go. I am begging you for a chance it is your choice and we have time, but please don’t shut me out. I am still in therapy trying to become that better person. It’s been hard and Ellen has been tough on me making we see the damage left in my wake. She keeps telling me that I may not be able to restore my life with you, but that I can still become a better person and have a happy life. I keep telling her that she hasn’t been loved by Bette Porter; once you’ve experienced that there is no substitute. I am begging you Bette, don’t shut me out, please baby, please.

Date night? Presumptuous much, T? Your writing is really great, but your Tina upsets me. After how long she made Bette beg after Candace, it seems like she’s expecting to have Bette just give her a chance so easily, when she was so much more hurtful towards her. I hope they make it, but only for Bette and Angie’s sakes, not for Tina, who doesn’t deserve such a great partner
I’m with jikes. It seems Tina is thinking Bette will cave and things can go back to the way she (Tina) wants it. Hope Bette hangs tough and helps Tina realize that the degree of pain she put Bette through can’t be undone by a smile and a “sorry”. Thanks for posting tonight – such an unexpected treat! PPS.
Will be interesting to see what happens from here…. thanks for writing it!
Well, I liked the fact that they are talking honestly and civily. There is nothing to be gained by two people who still love each other artificially holding up barriers. Each of them “earn” there way back to each other by being honest with themselves and honest with each other and create new rules between them to move forward. You are telling your story very well Lwsho…I am really enjoying it.
Great story. At least they are both open to the possibilty of working thing out. An as in real life it’s good to be careful to work through issues that have been allowed to destroy a realtionship. It’s good to see that being played out in this story. A day at a time.
at least they are talking. Tina really hurt Bette, especiay when she had Josh in their house that was meant. But their need each other. just love yur story. PPVS
love this.. and baby steps is good… i know they are going to make it.. pps
That was great and can’t wait to see more !
The road back is bumpy and eraught with potholes and turns; B needs T and vice versa.
Another great update – thank you :) Can’t wait to see what happens next. Thank you for this story :)
I hope the open communication continues and things stay positive. Please post very soon!
I’m glad they’re starting to talk about what happened. It feels like Tina is talking the brunt of their breakup. It takes problems with both partners for things to get as bad as they did and I don’t think we’re seeing Bette’s role. I guess the fact that Bette up and left without communicating her thoughts and intentions with Tina is an indication of how withdrawn she was from the relationship which I think Tina sensed. She is being portrayed as having only good intentions by making her move but I think she had some selfish/revenge type motivations as well. Maybe through their continued discussions and their therapy sessions some of these things will come to light and she’ll start taking some of the responsibility for the demise of their relationship. Then they can really move forward in healing.
Amazing Chapter!!! B&T talking is always good. I am a frim beleaver that it takes two to kill a marriage and two to fix it. I hope that B&T make in your story and Tina will move to N.Y., but she needs to give it time and alot off it. Thanks PPVS
