    Author Notes:

    The truth shall set you free

     

    “A wife, a child and a picket fence wasn’t enough?”

     

    “A wife who had cheated and was willingly unemployed.” Tina pointed out. “She was a far cry from the loyal partner and reliable provider I’d built my life around. Bette was lost. So much of her personal identity is anchored in her career. On top of that she’d just lost Melvin. I understand that she didn’t want to ‘sell out’ and take a job with a large corporate but I was relying on her to fulfill her role and she wasn’t. We needed to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads.”

     

    “It wasn’t that bad.” Shane stated in disbelief.

     

    “Bette was spending as though she was still earning. The credit cards weren’t coping and something had to give.” Tina said before she paused and shook her head, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be talking about this stuff.”

     

    Shane waived off her friend’s concern with a small shake of her head. “You know it’s not like that, T.” Shane assured, “So Bette wasn’t bringing home the bacon. Is that it?”

     

    “No, not by a long shot.” Tina confessed, “My self image took a hit after Angelica was born. I was tired, I didn’t feel attractive in the slightest and we just never reconnected.”

     

    Confusion clouded Shane’s features as she wondered if she’d heard right. She sat forward, leaning her elbows on her knees and discreetly asked “You guys never go it on after Angie was born?”

     

    “I didn’t really want it and Bette didn’t do a lot to try and persuade me otherwise.” Tina replied as her face colored slightly at the admission. “We were drifting further apart and the only thing between us was Angelica.”

     

    “What about all the years that you guys were happy?”

     

    “That seemed like a different life. I couldn’t look at Bette and see her as the same person that I had shared that life with.”

     

    “So what did you see?”

     

    “A willingly unemployed woman who cared more about her standing in the art world than her wife and child.”

     

    “Ouch” Shane responded as she slumped back into her chair.

     

    “It’s harsh but to a degree it’s true. Bette chose to turn down job offers because she wasn’t passionate about them. Then when Helena offered me a position at the studio, I could hardly refuse it. Bette didn’t like it but by that time I didn’t care.”

    3. ok, Now it is almost complete. You are back with your story, Jwet and Seahurst are writing again,Maybe skipton will Bless us with a chapter. One can only hope. Thanks hackgirl

    11. I think that I started this story, but it had Bette and Tina apart and my Tibette heart could not take it. I clicked on this chapter to see what was happening. I then went back and read the previous chapters. I am not sure where this is going but both Bette and Tina seem to still love one another so that gives me some hope that they can work it out.

    14. you’re back – hurray..i hope tina will fight for bette (for the right reason of course), i want B&T happy together and maybe it’s not too late

    17. That’s a great chapter. Tina’s explanation is understandable, yet a bit selfish. But I still hope she and Bette could work things out and be a happy family ever since.

    22. Hey H-gal, Nice to have ya back. More brilliant writing. Tina’s defence was perfect. She just told it as it was. No great pleading for empathy just the plain and honest truth. Awesome storytelling as this tale perculates along. Loved Shane’s “But that doesn’t mean there’s a happily ever after waiting for them down the line.” statement which gave Tina all the hope in the world. Can’t wait to see what she does with this new information. Delightful and entertaining. More pls and don’t wait so long. Much gratitude, Your Loyal Fan.
