    So far apart

    “I didn’t really mean ‘time’ in that sense Bette. What I meant is that I’m not in a place emotionally where I can focus on us right now. You’ve worked on you. I can appreciate that meditation has changed your life but I haven’t worked on me. Until I can get to a place where I’m comfortable in my own skin I don’t think I can do what you’re asking. You may be ready but I’m not. We’re not in sync with our feelings.”

    “OK. That’s a prime example of how far apart we are Tina and why we need to do this now. Sometimes I wonder if we even speak the same damn language. I get what you’re saying about working on yourself to where you’re comfortable with who you are and what you want. I understand wanting to be in a place emotionally to be open to accept or initiate change. I agree that we both have to want it or it’ll never work but it sounds to me like there is more going on here Tina.”

    “I’m just overwhelmed right now Bette. I have so much work to do. I’m in over my head. I have to go to Canada in a couple of weeks…”

    “Canada?”

    “Yeah … we’re scouting locations for this new movie and the producer asked me to come along.”

    “I didn’t realize that was part of your job as the development executive.”

    “Yeah … I’m sort of jack of all trades you know. I sometimes have to do some hand-holding to make sure we stay within budget while still producing a good picture.”

    “I have that 10 day silent retreat in Mt Olympia in a couple of weeks. That means we’ll both be away from Angie at the same time.”

    “Well can’t you reschedule?” Tina asked assuming her work was more important.

    “They are only doing it for one month so I need to work within that time frame. After Dana’s news today I’m considering moving it a few days just to make sure she’s OK. I wouldn’t want to be away if she had any complications but I’m really limited. What about you, can you reschedule your trip … I mean this is the first I’m hearing about it. How long will you be gone?”

    1. Trying to live your life for or thru someone is pointless if you are the only one trying.BETTE should not allow TINA to treat her this way and to belittle her is way over the top.DANA/LARA opposites whereas they are going into unchartered waters and anger is the one emotion DANA clutches like its a life raft.Sad scenes all the way around.

      • dunnthat, thanks for being the first to comment. I named this chapter ‘so far apart’ because Bette and Tina are not even on the same planet right now. As painful as it is Bette will realize soon enough that she can’t fix things between them while Tina has no desire to even try, They are on different paths to self-discovery. They need to complete their individual journeys before they can even begin to be a couple again. Dana’s anger and treatment of Lara will be a test of their strength as a couple but at least their foundation is solid and can withstand more.

    2. A late start for me today – ‘life’ getting in the way again !

      This post is so well considered and written BAT, thank you. I wish I had read something like this 20 years ago !

      Well on to the next post, as you see, still reading :)

    3. I like that you have Bette voice her thoughts and clearly adresses the issues she thinks they have to work on..
      At least Tina is thinking about Bette’s words and is starting to analyse her own reactions.
      And now to the next part … :)

    4. The certainty for harmony and duration of any relationship is respect for individuality. Love is not to cancel each other. You must maintain a routine in which their wishes, the “I” of each stay alive. But when that individuality is bordered by negligence, is a sign that something is not right in relação.E this is happening to our couple.
      The complete constellation.
