“Tina, I adore you. But I’m a fucking mess,” Bette replied, her voice choked with tears. “My life is really complex right now. It’s not fair to you.”
Tina rubbed her forehead. “Bette, shuttling me out is not fair.”
“I don’t want to complicate your life, Tina. Between things with Sidney and the divorce, her addiction, my addiction, and me trying to survive and keep my business afloat, I’m not in a place to build a relationship with you. You deserve better than that. I don’t want to bring all this baggage into our relationship. I need time to sort everything out.”
Tina shook her head. “No. I want to be with you now. We’ve grown so close, Bette.”
“Yes. And for the majority of that time, the stress of dealing with my wife has been pulling me in another direction. It doesn’t make sense for me to start a full-blown relationship while I’m still legally married.”
Hot tears rushed to Tina’s eyes. “It makes total sense. I know how you feel about me.”
Bette was quiet for a moment. “You do?” She replied.
“I do.”
Tina wiped at her tears and said, “And you know how I feel about you.”
“How do you feel about me, Tina?”
“I love you, Bette.”
Bette was crying, Tina could her the small sobs over the phone. “You love me?”
“I do. I don’t want us to be over.”
“I love you, Tina. I love you too much to hurt you. And the way things are going, I know that I will hurt you. I need time, T.”
Tina sighed. It felt like her heart was breaking. “Bette, how much time?”
“At least until Sidney and I are divorced. Until she’s officially separated from me professionally. And maybe even until he’s out of rehab and things between us are more stable.”
“Do you love her, Bette?”
“No. Not the way I love you.”
“So let me be there for you. Let’s approach this together. As a couple.”
Bette shook her head. “No. I won’t do that.”
“Why?:
“I want to be with you for a long time. I need us to start fresh and clean. I mean…hell, Tina I’m still – – -I can’t be with you. Intimate with you. And I don’t know when I’ll be ready.”

Three cheers for Bette for explaining herself and making a decision to work on her own shit!!! At least her heart is purposed to be free of as much baggage as possible. She hopes to be able to commit to Tina for the long haul.
Tina’s plan is to straddle the fence. UUUgh!! She has no plans of telling Bette about Henry, whether she stays married to him or not. She really doesn’t mind setting Bette to be her unwitting whore.
Hola me encantó el capitulo esperando que subas el otro si fuera por mi que lo subieras mañana mismo pero esperaré que subas el otro capítulo y por favor puedes poner más páginas porque siempre quedo con ganas leer mas
Thank you for the chapter!
I don’t know if Bette’s decision about the break was right or not (maybe right) but i definitely know that Tina’s decision about living double life will be worst solution and in long run may ruin both.
Thanks MTS for this insight to Tina’s relationship with her family. I just hope that she will be courageous enough to free herself from all those habits and conventions. Strong enough to listen to her heart that will tell her to end things with Henry immediately. Not if and when Bette might be divorced from Sidney. When it comes to love and listening to your heart and soul there is no safety net. Do it now! Show Bette that you want her, believe in her and by that give her strenght to pull through her mess with the alcohol and her manipulative (hopefully) soon-to-be ex wife.
pps :-)
Wait…if things work out with Bette, (THEN) I’ll will end it with Henry? What if it does not work out with Bette, will you not end it with Henry. Bette first, Henry the backup? Come on Tina, better to be alone than to be with someone you do not want to be with!!!
