What I hope that you will both take away when faced with something this major in the future is that it’s very important for you to try to “get in touch” with your feelings so you can identify them for yourself before you act on them. That’s the only way to be clear and specific about what you need from yourself, from your partner, from your friends and when you need to seek outside professional help.
I don’t have to mention how vital open and honest communication and empathic listening is during those times as well. You should be sharing everything if the experience is something you are going through together. Sharing your different perspectives will bring more balance to the intensity of the emotional roller-coaster that you’ll find yourselves on while you work through the issues that might come up.
I hope after today’s morning session, the butterfly release, your talk earlier and our discussions now that you both feel closer and perhaps a deeper respect and appreciation for one another. I still encourage you to journal this evening and talk some more if you’re up to it. I think maybe you two should lead the sessions tomorrow. I’ll let you decide where you want to go next.”
“How will we know?” They both wondered.
“Trust me … you’ll know. We are changing locale tomorrow. We won’t be doing anything at the gazebo. Be prepared to be gone for most of the day; attire should be versatile and comfortable. You’ll need walking shoes and maybe a change of clothes as you might get wet.”
“Why can’t you just tell us where we’re going and what we’ll be doing?”
“What would be the fun in that Bette? Anyway we will prepare backpacks for you with the essentials but feel free to bring any personal items. We may be out of range for your cell phones. I’ll have a satellite phone with me for emergencies. You can also use it to call Kit and speak to Angie so don’t worry about being out of communication with your family. There are clean bathrooms with running water not porta potties in case you were wondering.”
“Will we need to hunt for our food?” Bette asked not liking the sound of this outing.

Thank you wkm. Glad you are enjoying the progress. Lots more to come.
BETTE would get TINA warmed up time after time only to pump the brakes when TINA wa ready to make love.DAN was a counselor yet BETTE felt they didn’t need one.BOTH BETTE/TINA was to wrapped up in their own problems to see that this way of thinking was THE PROBLEM .Looking for donors it became what ever the other one wanted not what THEY wanted.BETTE found the donor,BETTE picks the guy to go home with them,BETTE finds the second donor all her choices yet TINA just went along.TINA confides in friends when she should talk to BETTE,TINA inseminates herself ,TINA has a reality check when MARCUS turns out to be black.To share all these hidden truths between them and at the end of the day realizes that there is still enough of a spark to ignite the sexual urges for each other gives them hope that this too can be put in the category of what not to do when planning a baby.Let the love they know is there shine thru.Best quote of this ”ze penis,ze pussy ,ze baby” that was one for the history books.pps thanks
dunnthat. Thank you for commenting and providing great insight. The point of rehashing all this history is to understand, forgive, and move on. Most importantly to learn from mistakes, pay attention to the warning signs, and not repeat bad behaviours. They are making good progress emotionally and eventually the physical relationship will resume.
Thanks for this great chapter.
One step at a time, they are reconnecting .
the entire constellation.
mscully – thank you for reading, commenting and rating. I love it when you reward my chapters with ‘the entire constellation’ :-)
Like what mscully said one step at a time, they already have talked much about a lot of their problems and it was very wise to ask Paul for his insight when they were not able to do that by them selves, but they are making progress.
The flashback that Bette came home earlier to spend time with Tina, trying to reconnect, and that Tina went to the gym, was for me absolutely heart breaking, it showed how disconnect they were.
I didn’t like the first few chapters, but Bat, you have defiantly my attention again.
Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
Bibi28 – thank you for sticking with the story. I know it was a rough beginning and I really appreciate that you gave it chance. Bette and Tina are going to progress by leaps and bounds before the end of this retreat.
