“Shove round “
Tina swung her legs round and Bette put her arms round her lover.
“That’s more like it “ Bette said – she moved her head and kissed Tina’s neck
“That’s more like it “ Tina agreed
“You missed me ?”
“I did – I was worried in case you were alone “
“I have been fine. I was just drinking my coffee when your dad came out – we have been talking – you never told me that their open marriage extends to his misdemeanours “
“I don’t like either of them screwing about “
“Well I understand that babe – you know that. But he seems very calm about it “
“Just because he is calm about it doesn’t make it right “
“Granted – but – well – how long have they been together ?”
“28 years “
“So – they must have something that works “
“Are you justifying what they do ?”
“I am just saying that while I cannot understand it and I would never be able to have that sort of relationship myself. I know its harder for you to deal with it because they are your parents but they are still together after 28 years and they have raised three beautiful children who are a credit to them – they must have something “
Tina wasn’t sure if Bette trying to understand was easier or harder than telling her friends and them reacting with shock and horror. She took Bette’s hands and kissed them
“Its not the easies thing when you are at school to know that your dad is screwing one of your teachers. And not only do you know but so does does your mother and your brother and sister”
“Harsh “ Bette agreed squeezing Tina’s hand
“I hated it – when I first found out I thought that it meant that they were going to split up- I was so upset – cried for hours. But my mom just told me that she wasn’t leaving us – she loved us and she loved dad “
Tina tried hard not to think about her parents “open marriage “- this was bringing back bad memories for her.

I was thinking the same thing as pandamel. Maybe Bette will get a vhance to see a picture of this Brenda then she will at least knowif she had anything to do with her in the first place. Thanks for posting.
Yikes, if Tina’s dad is a Yankees fan and Melvin is a Red Sox fan… don’t ever introduce them. Blood bath. Loved the chapter and cannot wait to see what happens with Sarah.
Bette is right whatever works for tina’s parents. tina shouldn’t be so judgemental and her mom should not be so judgemental based on rumors. open marriage is tricky situation doesn’t work for everyone, sorta like what shane was saying in the camp fire scene. excellent update ally. love the heart to heart with tina’s dad and bette…:)PPS
Glad that Bette is there for Tina. It must have been hard for Tina growing up with that and not understanding it, but apparently the open marriage works for her parents. I have confidence you will work this all out. Thanks for posting!
poly tunnels???? im daft. thx
Interesting chapter. I think its one thing for consenting adults to decide to have an open marriage. But to do it when you have children, in a small Southern town, it must have been fairly humiliating for the children. Considering where Tina is from it would have totally been part of the gossip mill..and not looked kindly on. So, I could see where that would be very upsetting for a child. I mean I don’t care what adults decide to do but sometimes those decisions have ramifications on other people in their lives that need to be acknowledged. Looking forward to more.
Wow!!! That is really an open marriage. Very radical. What happens when that sex turns into affection and love? To have a decade-long affair? Has to be more than sex, right?
Methinks this is foreshadowing of the issue of fidelity in Bette and Tina’s relationship down the road. Am I right? I couldn’t have an open marriage myself. PPS
I agree with pandamel and hope that Sarah over hears how Bette is there for Tina and able to help her through this without being judgemental. Bette is so right, rather than trying to judge her parents lives, Tina needs to simply try to live her owns. Maybe this is part of the reason Willow wants to go away to school. Maybe she needs a breather.
Bette is so gentle and wonderful with Tina, I love this Bette, thank you Ally, we definitely missed you.
What a revelation on Thanksgiving Day, open marriages are not for everyone and if they can make it work, more power to them. There are too many things rolling around out there today to have an open marriage, some you can’t get rid of, it’s too risky and dangerous. Happy that Bette makes Tina know that she understands and it’s not something they will ever do. Sarah should lighten up, those that live in glass houses can not afford to throw stones. Thanks for the chapter AllyE.
Wow Ally, great Niall/Bette and then Bette/Tina discussion about open marriages. I have never understood them myself, but if it works for two people that’s the main thing. However, even if it works for them, it doesn’t always work for their children as we saw with Tina. Wonderful story!
I love how supportive and understanding Bette is with Tina. Hope you are feeling okay.
I totally agree…no sharing! Hope that Tina’s mom is like hiding in the shadows and witnesses this scene and starts to come around! PPS
Just what is Tina’s problem that she is so utterly close minded? Because she was embarassed by her parents when she was a teenager? EVERYBODY is embarassed by their parents when they’re teenagers! And as for Bette, I think her issue with Mel wasn’t his infidelity (although it may well have been for his wives), but that his treatment of her ranged from the cold and distant to the outright hostile. But then, Bette and Tina wouldn’t be the first ‘liberals’ I’ve encountered who were rigidly prejudiced. Was it really Bette’s business to inform Tina that her fears of her mother having a new stud were true? And was that a good way of getting Tina to calm down? Maybe Niall should have a heart to heart with Tina on the back porch like he did with Bette.
Really really liking this interesting twist to Tina’s family.
I’m not a fan of open marriages, but if this one has worked for Mom and Dad. That’s well and good. It however doesn’t seem to go so well for the children. They have a loving family, but not without its troubles. Bette, because of her background, seems to accept it better than most. Love this story!!! Keep it coming.
Your writing is so amazing! I had the same thought as pandamel, is Sarah possibly overhearing this????
That was great and like Bette with Tina’s father, hope Tina’s mom will come around soon. Love B&T, Bette is there for her. Plese post more, thanks!
famous last words from Bette? I do hope not. T’s been hurt enuff by her parents open marriage. pps
Just three things, Ally…continue, continue, continue!:)
Maybe Bette should run a check on Brenda. Does help to know who you are up againts. Loving your story. Thanks for sharing.
COOL!!! Thanks Ally! Take care.
Wow! Crazy stuff! I hope Sarah overhears this? Or comes around soon…or something…Great job! Can’t wait for more!
I feel bad for Tina but I am glad that Bette is there and understand.I couldn’t have an open marriage myself. Thanks Ally.
