The thing that makes this even more insane is that I like who I am. I like the fact that I don’t have to be poked and prodded to get things done. I like the fact that I have initiative, drive and ambition. I mean I have worked hard over the years to mature in other areas; to develop patience; to relax when I am not working; to enjoy life. I feel that I have come leaps and bounds in those areas; not that Tina has noticed. But the thing is that I didn’t do it for her; those were qualities that I wanted to develop for me. I am proud of how far I have come. Not to say that I don’t have any relapses in those areas, but all and all I have worked hard and I think that it has paid off. This other stuff that Tina is talking about, well I am not sure what I can do or what I want to do, if anything. I’ll admit that I am not perfect and I am still working on things, but I certainly am a much improved Bette Porter.
We are definitely going to have to talk more about this. And now that we are seeing Dr. Laurel, I am sure that we will talk more about it.
Pulling into the garage, I look over at Tina. The tears are streaming down her face and I wish I knew what she is thinking. Then I remind myself that all I have to do is ask her. I hear myself say ‘Tina, do you want to talk about it; tell me what you’re thinking. It’s okay if you don’t want to talk, but if you do I am here to listen. And when you are ready to listen, I have some thoughts that I would like to share with you.’
In that moment, I realize that before we started this therapy thing I would not have said any of that. I know that we have a long way to go and many challenges to face, but maybe there is some hope for us after all. I am not totally sure, but I am definately more prepared to move forward now than I was a week ago. Whatever happens at least we’re not sitting there stuck on stupid and not doing anything.

I am still giving Tina a break, and trust me that is not easy to write…lol. I can see how they are feeling. They both failed in communication with one another. Tina relied on Bette to take care of things without adding her input, giving how Bette is, she took the repsonsibility leaving Tina without it. Tina was wrong to dump things on Bette because she did not want to deal with it. Bette should not have allowed for Tina to dump everything on her. Both left each other unchecked and let the other run “wild.” What I will not give TIna a break on is the affair not once but twice(I think). She was dead wrong, no matter how the relationship was going with Bette. I think Tina should confess, it’s going to come out eventually, so she might as well do it.
WOW!!!! I agree with Lamentamini and smiley. But Tina needs to give Bette her time and love. Bette needs to do the same. Thanks PPS
. Both are wrong Bette for doing it and Tina for putting the Monkey on Bette back. What I dont like is Tina having a affair. Will she ever tell Bette,
I love the new and improved Bette Porter. She seems the complete woman. Tina seems the one who needs to adjust her vision and get more real with herself. I’m glad Bette is not the bad guy is this one. Tina has the doubts and the extramarital relationships. …I’m also getting a kick out of your author comments. Gosh, I feel just a little special. Thanks!
Wow…I love this…I feel so sorry for Bette…when she finds out that her heart cheated on her not once but twice when she was making all these changes in herself…it’s gonna break her heart. When Tina realizes what she has done to Bette she will feel so bad…it’s coming soon it’s like a virus…it has to work it’s way out. What are you doing to my girls?
Bette has promise; Tina not so much. Plus Tina has those infidelities on her back. Why should she tell Bette? Bette will leave her at least temporarily if not permanently. PPS. What a great story!
Thank you…
She should tell Bette and give her the choice of whether she will stay or not. I think part of Tina treating Bette like ish is some form of guilt for what she did. Cheating dosen’t necessarily mean the end of a relationship…but to keep it inside and let it fester and taint EVERY action you have toward the other person is very wrong and THAT can end things.
seems like the therapy’s working, even if it’s a slow process..thank you
Damn that was painful. I would’ve kicked Tina’s mother out too. You don’t go in someone else’s home and wreak havoc. Why do I have the feeling the friend that Tina cheated on Bette with is a man?
1st
I like the stuck on stupid!!! PPS
