OK.
While it pains me to say this I want to be honest. I think I need to start being as honest as I can be with myself and by extension with you.
Truthfully, I think you and I started going to therapy for different reasons and I think that we are in different places right now. Frankly, when we started seeing Dr. Laurel I wanted to hear her tell me that I was right and that you needed to change. That you needed to accept responsibility for our state of affairs. But, after going to her for several weeks and some soul searching, I have finally realized that I have a role to play in this too.
Bette, I don’t know how to say this but, I don’t think I can do this. As a matter of fact I know I can’t do this. Now is not the time. I feel like I need to work on myself before I can even think about working on us as a couple. I thought I was ready, but clearly I am not.
What are you saying Tina? She says with tears streaming down her face.
The emotion, for the first time in a long time starts to overwhelm me. I don’t want to hurt Bette, my Bette.
God, Bette I love you so much. I wish I had the words to express how much I love you. You are the only woman for me and I don’t want to hurt you. But if we are going to have a chance at forever I need to do this. Please believe me babe, I DO want forever with you. I could never love anyone the way that I love you.
**Bette continues to listen quietly with tears in her eyes.**
With tears, I continue to talk – Bette, I need to take some time to myself. Time away from us and our home. I need to get myself back before we can move forward. I want to be with you, but I am not sure that I like the person that I have become. I need to fend for myself for a while and regain some of my independence. I need to do a lot more soul searching. I want to be the best Tina Kennard that I can be for me; for you; for us. I don’t know if we can ever be together as a unit again. I would like to think that we can; I hope that we can, but I need to be a whole person before we can even try.

1st?
Sorry to see you ens this. We really need a follow up to see it thing do work out as Tina and Bette hope for thanks
What???? You’re ending it? Say it ain’t so…at least Bette didn’t say I’ll wait for you forever (I say that because she’ll be waiting on someone that wasn’t COMPLETELY honest with her) I hope Tina finds herself and I hope you find your way back to us with this story…and any other brilliant pieces you decide to write. Thanks
…NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you can’t leave it like that! I do agree that Tina needs individual help, but a sequel would be great. Please? You know you can’t stay away forever. It’s just not possible.
well, at least we have hopes for a sequel, i hope tina will come home soon and they can work things out…was tina talking to candace?
Well, I didn’t expect it to end like this, really. You should do a sequel/floow-up/epilogue or something. And I never thought it would be Tina that’d tell Bette about the affair. I thought it’d be whoever she was talking to about it on the phone. Anyhow, thanks and post again down the line when you can. cheers
I think Tina should take that secret with her to the grave, and threaten to kill her confidant if she ever tells. Thanks for the story. Sorry you had to end it here!
There just gotta be a sequel even thorough I am struggle w/wether I want Bette with someone who is not honest. This was the perfect time!!! She was leaving anywhere. Please to sequel. PS-I do want them together. Happy and Honest.
to follow up skyc’s thought… Say its not so, dearest moho! You fill us with woe, if you should go!
I DO think Tina needs to find herself, and yes, it probably is more likely to happen away from someone as strong as Bette, but I hope to see you come back with more from them, because no matter how they part, it still hurts…
I have to be honest. I really, really love this story but this ending is not very satisfying. I know that it is your choice but I hope you’ll consider a sequel to bring this story to resolution. I just don’t believe that they can split permanently considering their wonderful life and the people involved. Tina should not tell Bette about her dalliances unless she never wants to be with Bette again. That would be a blow from which this Bette could not recover.
Great, great story. I think the ending is perfect, makes us readers have to really think about what happens next. My own thoughts are that Tina’s confidant was Kit. I believe Kit would never tell Bette, because she knows it would hurt her and/or did not want to break Tina’s confidence, but she also was dropping hints so that maybe Bette would figure it out on her own. I also believe Tina will tell Bette in the future , after she works on herself through therapy. I really hope you do a sequel!
