And the sex definitely started to wane during this time. I mean, like I said our relationship morphed into a parent/child situation. How could I be interested in being physical with the woman I now thought of more as a dependent? I guess I just started to lose interest, shut down and push her away. It wasn’t a conscious decision. It just happened.
Have you said this to Tina before?
Uuuhhh, (Bette turns and looks at Tina.) I don’t know, probably not in so many words. I guess I shut down on every level. I definitely stopped communicating and she stopped asking. (Bette feels an onslaught of tears coming her way; she fights them back to prevent them from falling.) I feel like this is so fucked up.
Tina, how do you feel about what you’ve heard?
I am angry and tired. Tired of the patronizing; tired of the Bette the Great complex that she has. (Turning to look at Bette.) Your ego is out of control. (Bette is taken aback, but remains quiet.)
First of all, the decision for me to pursue photography was a mutual one. And common sense would tell Bette that as with any career change; it will take time to get things going.
Turning to Dr. Laurel, Tina says ‘Do you mind if I smoke?’
‘I would prefer if you didn’t.’
AAaaarrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhh, Tina grunts as she runs her fingers through her hair roughly, in an attempt to push down the anger that has so rapidly appeared at the surface.
I did not ask Bette to do all of the things that she did in the beginning stages of the business. I mean I will admit that Bette is much better at the planning and follow-through required to build a business, but I am sure that I would have gotten it together and figured things out for myself. I mean I didn’t need Bette to take over. She bull dozed her way in as usual and started controlling everything, so I let her. Is that so terrible? I mean I was embarking on a completely new career and I was feeling a little; ok a lot insecure about it. So when Bette offered to help; I took her up on it.

Three times a week? …Photography must be a good business to be in! …as Tim Gunn says, “Make it work!” … Thanks!
Seems it’s going to take more work than I imagined, too. Well, I hope they’re willing to put in the effort because I always think these two belong together!
it will be hard because they don’t talk to each other, therapy can only help so much, so i hope it will help them talk
This is gonna take a miracle…does Tina realy want to be there? Dosen’t seem like it.
I can’t believe Bette lets Tina smoke in her beloved car. They were really nasty and hurtful to one another. How can they go home together and act all ‘normal’???PPS.
Hey, feel free to let the chapters flow like water. it’s better than sitting and staring at what you have so far and realizing your brain is constipated (I’m being serious here). Loved the name of the doctor. ;) Bette really shouldn’t feel bad for feeling as she does. it sounds like Tina is always looking for a fight and Bette has no choice but to stand down if she doesn’t feel like fighting back. And WTF, Tina. I smoke and even during my most intense therapy sessions I’ve never asked to light up, although if things were REALLY tough my therapist would probably say we could go outside and experience a calmer atmosphere.
Well i could imagine couples therapy can get like this. I am loving this. Can’t wait for more therapy sessions.
how nasty….they been carrying around them nasty thoughts about each other no wander thy can’t get it on…fix it moho..
If Tina thought this was hard, wait until she has to admit to her 2 affairs. She seemed very defensive in her rant at Bette.
Tina seems very defensive…..does she really want to make it work, or is she more interested in placing blame on Bette? Will she tell Bette about the affair? keep them flowing and I’ll be reading!
I’ve been enjoying your fic and needed to comment. I felt that Bette’s discription while painful for Tina was never nasty, she was just talking about her feelings..Therapist always says Use I statements!, Tina..well Tina went for name calling and finger pointing…not cool…I agree..with who ever said Tina doesn’t seem like she wants to be there very much…I think Tina reacted the way she did because she feels guilty…THanks keep them coming!
