Tina felt a heat crawling up her neck as she realized everything Bette was saying was true. She had been distant, and as their relationship deteriorated, she’d made more than a few cutting remarks about money. She didn’t realize she was hurting Bette so much, though.
“I’m sorry,” was all Tina could think to say. “I was wrong to do that. I guess being the provider for our family brought out the worst in me. I don’t mind being the breadwinner so to speak, but in the back of my mind I was worried about what might happen to us if anything at work fell through. So I guess I became unreasonable in making the financial decisions. I thought I knew what was best.” Tina rubbed a hand over her face. “That’s also why I’ve been working so hard. I love my job and I enjoy it. But another part of me wants to give all I have because there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to keep us secure.”
“That’s another thing. You’ve practically become a workaholic. And it’s not all about being a good provider for our family. Sometimes I think you prefer that job to spending time with me and Angie,” Bette said.
“You know that’s not true.”
“I know it’s not strictly true. It didn’t stop me from feeling like an afterthought most of the time.”
Tina shook her head. “Come on. You and Angie are never an afterthought for me. In fact, most of the time you two are at the forefront of my mind.” Tina paused before she continued. “My latest project has kind of kept me busy for the past few months, but now it’s off the ground. I’ll have a lot more time to spend with you and Angie… I mean, if you want to spend more time with me…” Tina trailed off.
“Of course I do,” Bette replied. “I know we’ve been fighting a lot and at times it’s felt like we were leading separate lives, but Tina, I still love you. I’m always going to be in love with you. I’m so sorry about everything.” Bette’s eyes began to fill with tears and she blinked a few times. “I’m sorry for my part in all of this. Instead of telling you how I felt, I let resentment build up to feed my self-pity. I tried to hurt you by lashing out with an accusation you didn’t deserve.” Bette wiped at a stray tear on her cheek. “I don’t want to fight anymore. I want us to get back to where we were.”
