    Author Notes:

    “Decision about what?” Tina asked. “Decisions in general, but primarily in regard to a couple of job offers that Julia told me about this evening.” “What offers?” “I have an offer from California University and I’m on the short list of candidates to head the Whitney Museum.” “The Whitney? That’s incredible. How did that happen?”

    “Decision about what?” Tina asked.

    “Decisions in general, but primarily in regard to a couple of job offers that Julia told me about this evening.”

    “What offers?”

    “I have an offer from California University and I’m on the short list of candidates to head the Whitney Museum.”

    “The Whitney? That’s incredible. How did that happen?”

    “What do you mean how did that happen … some people actually think that I’m qualified.”

    “I didn’t mean to imply that you weren’t qualified … I just thought that you said you didn’t want to take another museum position.”

    “It’s the Whitney Tina …that’s pretty hard to dismiss.”

    “Wow.”

    “Yeah … I mean we’d have to move to New York.” Bette said getting excited at the possibility.

    “We?”

    “Well if I took the post … if they offered it to me.”

    “I have a job here … a job I love that probably pays more than a museum position.” Tina said sardonically.

    “So um … you’re saying that if I were named the DIRECTOR of the WHITNEY you wouldn’t move to New York?” Bette was incredulous at Tina’s reaction.

    “I’d have to think about it. I like my life here Bette. Maybe you should be thinking more about the teaching job, at least it won’t disrupt our lives and we wouldn’t have to move?”

    “What teaching job?”

    “You said you had an offer from California University didn’t you?”

    “Yes and you just assumed it was a teaching job?”

    ”Yeah … I mean what is the offer?”

    ”For your information the offer is for a DEAN’s position. I would be the Dean of the School of Arts. I’d facilitate a few classes a month but it’s hardly a teaching job. I’m sure our salaries would be comparable.”

    “I’m sorry Bette. I didn’t mean to sound like I was belittling you.”

    “No you didn’t … it just goes to show how little you think of my capabilities. You know what maybe you’re right. Maybe we’re not in an emotional place where we should be tackling ‘us’ right now. The separation will do us good. I’m going to book that 10 day retreat. You do what you need to do. I’ll make arrangements with Kit and the girls to help out with Angie. We can put her in daycare a couple of days so my being away won’t interfere with your work schedule. It might be good to give her a break from us as well. I’m sure the aunties would love spending the extra time with her.”

    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.
