The result was that Tina and Carrie had had very little time together in the preceding months. They had managed only three weekends together in a four-month period plus two weeks at Christmas. So, on Valentine’s Day, Carrie decided to purpose to Tina. Neither had been happy about the long stretches of separation during the past six months, but their lack of time together was due to their professional obligations. Tina foresaw that this would be their lifestyle for as long as she was the producer on this series and Carrie continued her career in the arts as she was pursuing. Carrie had thought the last few months had been an aberration and surely the future would get better. And perhaps they would make more accommodations and have more time together as a couple. What neither of them thought about was the fact that Angie would become an important factor in their time together at least for the near future.
Carrie: Here is your drink. I’ve ordered some sandwiches and chips to snack on. Room service will be here in about 15 minutes. So why don’t we sit down and relax a minute.
Tina: Thank you, Carrie.
Carrie: Tina, this morning did not go as I envisioned it. I really thought that Angie and Bette would be happy for you. I thought they would be thrilled that you and I are going to be here during your hiatus. We didn’t even get the chance to ask Angie to participate in our ceremony.
Tina: Carrie…just stop. It didn’t go as I thought it would either. But after talking to Angie, I should have known that it wouldn’t go well. Angie’s perception of our relationship is not the same as ours. And I should have known or expected her reaction. I have not been in her life enough to know how she would feel about this.
Carrie: Well Bette should have known, and she should have warned you.
Tina: Bette would never have any discussion with Angie about how she perceives me marrying someone else until after I had told Angie about it. And that was the purpose of our discussion today. And since this is a first for all of us, I don’t see how you can expect Bette to anticipate something for which none of us have any experience in. Besides, this is not about Bette. This is about my relationship with my daughter.

What can i say, Tina has seen the light and is finally going to try to talk with Bette about her decision to leave and then the divorce. She should have done that three years ago when she asked for time to figure herself out. The only positive i can say that she filled for divorce before getting in a relationship with Carrie.
So Carrie is nine years younger than Tina. Did Tina fall for the midlife crisis that she just throwed away her life with Bette, her supposed love of her life, just because Carrie, a much younger woman gave her attention when she was supposed to search herself and in the progress damaged her relationship with Angie because she without a real thought throwed away and moved away from her family?
And Carrie, damn, how could you think and say out loud that Bette should have done more and prepared Angie and that when Angie would see how happy they both are that Angie would be oh so happy for them while she feels Tina left her and Bette behind without any explanation and in Angie her eyes is starting a new family.
Both Tina and Carrie spoke after that with good insights but still, i really dislike how Tina handled everything in the past three years.
Best decision of Tina is to postpone the wedding. I don’t know if Bette is that open to a conservation with Tina, they need to talk but in my opinion on Bette’s timeline.
I can see that you are really involved in this story. This may not go exactly as you suggest. Let’s just say that the story will proceed in what I hope you will find to be a satisfactory manner and result. This particular scenario is a hard nut to crack and to make into a reasonable satisfying ending. But that is what Gen Q gave us – a totally unreasonable and unexplained breakup and then a fairy tale ending. And to top it off, they gave very little connection from the breakup to the reunion marriage. No continuity and no logic. And that is the purpose of this story is to suggest some path and method to get from breakup to happily ever after. Hang with me Bibi…. together we will get there. Or at least an honest attempt to get there.
Thanks for your comment.
Hey Martha,
Already posted my comment on chapter 4 before i read your reply to me.
GenQ was a disaster, no plotlines and left us bewildered. I’m glad you try to make sense of their breakup and their rekindled relationship and ultimately their second marriage.
I don’t care if you write it different than i expect, you are the writer and I’m in for this journey.
How can Tina possibly fall in love with anyone better than Bette…is Tina’s head so messed up she can’t see what’s right in front of her?? She was attracted to her in NY? That doesn’t seem to be the actions of someone trying to find herself.
Her moral background and conscious, lacked a bit, as she was ready to start looking again !
Good for Angie, laying it on the line as well, almost making it tough for Tina to thinking everything with her and Bette has been OK for the last 3 years !! Did she not really know Bette at all !
And what kind of mother only sees her daughter on high days and holidays? ☹️
‘She then called Bette and told her that she had met someone, and Bette would be receiving divorce papers within days. This was about a year after the separation. Bette was devasted’.
– This is an awful way to be told your being divorced, no wonder Bette was devastated, she didn’t know why she had no chance of fighting to save her marriage!
I can see how Tina wants to make it right with Angie and so she should be …. but it seems she is calling of the marriage to Carrie, very easily…almost to easily… did she really love her at all, I’m wondering?
Really getting into this, loving it
Janice,
Sometimes people simply do not think things through. They just respond in the moment. I think Tina was lonely. Carrie was young, attractive and showed Tina some attention. As you will see Carrie was convenient and she fit Tina’s lifestyle at the moment. Tina is totally consumed by her job and Carrie is only available part time. So read on and let’s see what happens.
Thanks for reading and commenting.
