Soon Bette’s warm nurturing partner had transitioned back to the cold-hearted bitch that she’d become when she was dating Bette’s nemesis Helena Peabody. If things were not bad enough, the woman partly responsible for Bette getting fired from her position as the Director of the California Arts Center and losing her livelihood was the same woman Tina now worked for.
It wasn’t enough that Bette had to endure Tina working side by side with her rival but she was also forced to have a constant reminder of it as Tina’s ex-lover became an integral part of their social circle. It was understood that Helena and Tina were friends, but Bette’s best friend Alice had also struck up an implausible friendship with Helena. Bette no choice but to accept Helena’s presence in their lives regardless of her personal dislike for the woman.
Top that off with Tina taking every opportunity to lord her power as the sole breadwinner in the family and you were left with a mere shadow of the alpha female Bette was reputed to be. In her present state she was not in control of anything. Tina held all the cards. Bette had to accept it or risk losing her daughter and the family she’d fought so hard to salvage.
Bette tolerated a lot from Tina that she wouldn’t have before the affair or before they had a child together. She was at Tina’s mercy for fear of losing her daughter. Though she had joint custody, the second parent adoption had yet to be finalized. She had no legal claim to the child. She was at a loss to try to fix things. She no longer knew the woman that she loved. She didn’t even know if Tina still loved her. Tina never said ‘I love you, and she certainly didn’t show it. In essence Bette had given in to all of Tina’s demands for the past six months suffering silently, but everyone has a limit. Bette Porter had reached hers.
She refused to continue to walk on egg shells any longer so as not to unleash Tina’s violent temper. She refused to continue to be subject to the verbal abuse and degradation of her character that would follow any retaliation or contradiction. She refused to continue to be treated like a leper when her attempts at touching Tina in any expression of intimacy whether physical or emotional were met with repulsion.

BAT I’m with you so far…..please have a better version than what I saw……
Dee22 – if you haven’t read this story before you’re in for a ride. It will be very different from what we saw on the show. That’s a promise. Stay with me.
So glad you are going to change it. Thanks, enjoyed it
Thank you. Changes are coming soon.
Still here and looking forward to your ‘spin’ on the story :)
Thanks as always for the post.
SassyGran thanks for sticking with the story. There will be a few surprises on the way.
This story makes me sad, i will read it but it is so hard. As a true Tibetter i think it is better that they break up and try to find them selves. Bette made one big mistake and she paid dearly for that.
But Tina is not the innocent poor woman, she is one evil bitch who destroyed Bette with her behaviour.
Ugh, i hate season three! !! But i will stick around.
Bibi28 – I know it’s hard. I won’t be reliving S3 for too much longer. The story will take a turn in a few chapters. Thanks for sticking with me.
Really hated Tina in S3 and how she threatened Bette and I know that I also do not like her at the beginning of your story. Granted Bette cheated but she paid for it and let Tina walk all over her and humiliate her in public. Tina for her part, in my opinion, didn’t take any responsibility for the failure of their relationship and as it wasn’t bad enough that she dated Helena Peabody now she is working for her and helps her to invade herself with their friends. At least Bette is aware of the fact that she should not let Tina treat her like she does any longer and that she has to put herself together without Tina’s help. So looking forward to your next post, and thank you so much for posting this exceptional story.
as1219. I’m so glad to see you reading and commenting on this story. You were an integral part of it when I originally posted. I totally agree about how Tina treated Bette. Bette’s affair was a betrayal but Tina’s revenge was evil. She did everything in her power to break Bette and almost succeeded. As you know I can’t abide a broken Bette. She’s going to come back better than ever. :-)
BETTE should have been the happiest woman in WE-HO but HELENA/TINA made her look like a fool.TINA kept the screws in BETTE until that cybersex hic-cup and now alpha BETTE is loose.TINA needs to feel safe again but she goes overboard in this season.pps thanks
dunnthat – So true. I hated that Bette allowed herself to be so manipulated by Tina and Helena and later by Jodi. I think that’s why I always write a very strong Bette, but her heart is her character and you can’t get away from that. Thanks for sticking with the story. If you haven’t read it before I think you will enjoy the ride once we get over these hurdles.
