Chapter 14
“I think that’s a really good idea. The atmosphere will be fun and casual so should be conducive and not too intimidating.”
“That is if she can still stand to be around a bunch of lezzies. We put Alice in charge of entertainment and themed party games so you can expect that they will be over the top. I think she’s hired a few strippers and lap dancing is definitely a must.”
“Gotta love Alice. I guess Tina will need to decide for herself what she’s comfortable with. I say make the invite and leave it up to her.”
“I will.” Bette kissed Emma softly on the lips and smiled.
“Are you about ready to wrap up here?” Emma asked anxious to get Bette away from work so they could enjoy the rest of the afternoon and make Saturday evening plans.
“Yes. I just need to get a few things”. Bette said opening the door to her office.
***
Over the course of time spent in therapy Bette learned so much about the importance and ways of communicating openly and freely with loved ones. She no longer kept things bottled up nor did she try to manage everything on her own. Between the therapy and having a healthy loving relationship with Emma, Bette found her joy again. She felt empowered; she felt good about herself and she felt good about her life. The transformation was evident after just a few months.
Through therapy Bette was able to discern that she wasn’t ‘a seven year aberration’ for Tina and she shouldn’t feel that what they had wasn’t real and substantive. Tina questioning her sexuality was not principally because she was in a lesbian relationship. It was just a fact of life that people change and grow apart. It could happen in any marriage; gay or straight.
Bette found that once she was able to look rationally at the situation with Tina that caused them such distress she was then able to take actions to reclaim her own power and to make peace with herself. It was revealing that much of her relationship with Tina was centered on the fear of living with the notion that Tina would eventually want to go back to men. It could be said that the marriage was almost predisposed to fail for the simple fact that Bette never communicated openly and honestly about her feelings, doubts or insecurities. It was unhealthy to try to bury the anxiety that was present just below the surface as it was just a matter of time before circumstances between them changed and brought it to the forefront.

Hey Bat, I really love your story. I read your comments, and as some others I never believed that Bette was the bad guy in the show (probably the directors, writers and some of the audience did); I personally was shocked with the lack of impartiality in the show; but your story is different, is not as in the show. I remember hating the way Bette was treating in seasons 2, 3 and 4 (remember trying to skip some episodes when watching TV), and how they made her guilty of infidelity with Jodi in season 5 and with Kelly in season 6 (the last one never happened). IMO the main problem was the uneven relationship (after Tina left her job), the lack of communication, aggravated for the components of an alpha partner and a weak defeated one, like the old idea of a traditional hetero-couple, and they portrayed every cheating in the same way (by the way one cheating doesn’t justify another as it may be apparent from the show). But your story is different, no Bette’s cheating, no daughter; here we have a strong alpha woman, popular, powerful and loved for everybody (no for Helena of course), and a weak defeated one with a great burden of guilt who suddenly has lost the compass of her life falling in the abyss of her remorse and pretense, trying to mask her own misery; both women are suffering and a great love is destroyed, but life keep going, they may survive and thrive; this is what I like from your story. Thank so much for your post and I’m eager to read your update, pps.
