The Journey 33
Bette: I swallow and force myself to look at Tina. “Of course.”
Tina: “But thank you.”
Bette: “Tee, you know she was not important to me, don’t you? That is was an affair in every sense of the word.”
Tina: “Explain that to me some more Bette.”
Bette: I eye my red wine but think better of it. “I was not involved with her emotionally.”
Tina: “Just sexually, that makes it all the better.”
Bette : “Tee” I plead with her not to do this. She nods, implying I should continue. “I do not want you to think I am trying to justify my action, because I am not.”
Tina: “OK” I say quietly.
Bette: “It was not that I no longer loved you and I loved her” I am aware of how hard this must be for Tina to hear but I am also aware that in the future not hearing it may cause bigger problems. “I just didn’t know how to reach you. After the miscarriage I felt shut out. I felt sad and angry but didn’t know how to express it. I thought my role was to be strong. I know there were problems before the miscarriage, that I took you for granted, that you felt like you had lost your identity, that you felt like I didn’t listen and mostly I didn’t. I understand that but the miscarriage and nearly being fired pushed me over the edge. I just needed release. I know that is not a good excuse but I couldn’t reach you, I didn’t think you wanted me to reach you. I wish I had told you myself, I mean I wish it hadn’t happened but since it did, I wish you hadn’t found out how you did, but Tee do you understand that I didn’t want to continue like that, that’s why i let myself be caught. But please do not think it was pre-planned because it was not.” I sigh “I’m sorry this isn’t coming out how I planned.” I silently kicked myself as I had revisited this conversation a thousand times in my head. I promised myself if I got lucky enough to have this conversation I would be well prepared.
Tina: “Bette.” I pause. “We both made mistakes, I did shut you out, it wasn’t deliberate, I was just trying to cope and yes, I did feel like I lost my identity but I played into it as well. I let you carry the bulk of the responsibility. It wasn’t all your fault Bette.”
