“Tina I can’t tell you what to do. What do you want to do?”
“I don’t know … I don’t know what I want. I just needed you to know what was going on in my head right now. Baby I swear I am not doing this on purpose nor do I have any malicious intent towards you. I love you but I just can’t seem to connect with you right now and this Josh thing … I don’t know what it’s about but it’s standing in the way of my being able to stop and think about us.”
“Then it sounds like you’ve got your answer Tina. I think you should explore this Josh thing. I mean you really need to know what it’s about and frankly so do I.”
“This is so screwed up Bette. Are you telling me to sleep with him?”
“If that’s what you want Tina. I mean thirty minutes ago you told me that you fucked him … the fact that it was all in your head while you fantasied doesn’t change the mindset or the feelings. If you felt it was important enough to tell me then I think your heart is telling you something … I guess what I’m saying is follow your heart Tina.”
“What if my heart leads me away from you into his arms?”
“I’d be heartbroken but I’d rather you break it once when you leave me rather than have you stay to break it over and over and over again every time you reject me. I don’t want you sleeping in my bed if I’m not who you want to be with Tina. It will be better for us if we’re honest about this rather than try to pretend that it’s some phase that will go away. It sounds like you’ve been struggling with it for a while so it’s not going away is it?”
“No it’s not.”
“This disconnect between us isn’t a phase either Tina. It’s getting progressively worse the longer we ignore it. We do have our daughter’s happiness to consider but we also have ourselves and our happiness to consider. Neither one of us is happy with the other right now. Nor do we even know if we have a chance at a life together. If it takes you exploring these feelings for men in general or Josh in particular in order for us to get some answers then maybe that’s a risk we need to take.”

Thanks BAT. A turning point you say but which way will you take us.
TINA needs a reality check.BETTE keeps hoping but if TINA continues on this path after the retreat and if the past is any indication of her intentions then BETTE is just fighting for nothing.Cyber sex or wtf ever is still sex.Maybe she needed to tell BETTE but it was the delivery not the content of the message.pps thanks
I am still reading, but it is very difficult to read this. It is a good thing that Tina talked to Bette but it was better if she had done that in the beginning. They need to take a break and Bette is right in that.
In my opinion they should break up and work at them selfs to grow and be a better person , maybe after their time out they can begin to work at their relationship.
But for now i really dislike Tina ,and Bette deserves more and needs to grow back to the confident, strong Alpha she was without losing her kind loving side.
Ok, back to celebrating my birthday!
Can I say that I hate Tina very much at this moment. And is Bette really willing to ‘let Tina explore her feelings’ for Josh – what exactly is it that she expecting and would she really take Tina back if she were to let Josh fuck her? That’s something so out of character for her that I don’t believe that is what I think she is telling Tina to do. Hopefully Tina thinks really hard before giving into what she thinks she wants/needs because it could damage their already shaken relationship beyond repair.
I really have a lot of faith in your storytelling but at this point I just want Bette to get as far away from Tina as possible and find herself someone else after she put herself back together to her strong confident self.
Thanks for this part! I hope Tina uses the time out to rethink her situation. My theory was always that Tina suffered from post-natal depressions and that made her so …aaarrrrrgh! ;)
I’m glad that you gave us her thoughts on the situation, it feels at least not quite as frustrating as it did in the show. Please don’t let her follow through with her attraction to Josh (or men) and have her sleep with him. I never saw Tina as a woman how would do the ‘tit for that’ thing to get back at Bette for her infidelity.
Chatting is a start, even if it was Tina
admit to having feelings for Josh, and I hope this is just a
phase and not come to fruition because I’m dragging me
with difficulty to this story. It is sad to see this fight that our couple comes
taking, because unfortunately Bette and Tina are just two people living together and very close-by date.
The complete constellation.
When I posted this story the first time I received very similar comments and reactions to Tina’s behavior. I know this is difficult and in my opening Author’s notes I did say that Tina’s character would probably be worse (less likable) in my version than on the show. I’m not doing that to put Tina in a bad light or to make everyone ‘hate’ her. She’s actually a very tragic character in that she’s struggling with some very serious issues and she doesn’t know how to handle them. I agree that her outburst of ‘I fucked Josh Becker’ and her confession about the cyber-sex was ill-advised at that particular time. They were both in an emotional turmoil from all that had already taken place that night. Tina needed to unburden herself of the guilt without any thought to how Bette would receive it. Bette took it as if Tina was deliberately trying to hurt her, when in fact Tina was screaming out for HELP. Instead of recognizing the desperation Bette dismissed it and basically told Tina … “go figure it out yourself, I can’t tell you what to do.” Tina doesn’t have the balance and support that Bette has in her meditation, spiritual adviser, Dana, Lara and Kit. She’s stuck with Alice and Helena as her confidants. She doesn’t have an impartial person like an adviser or therapist to guide her through. That’s not to say that she doesn’t have free will to make the right choices, but I think Bette could have helped her more and maybe saved some additional heartache and heartbreak later on. Secondly Bette is not the martyr. Admittedly she’s taken some emotional abuse from Tina and she’s living with the fear that Tina could at any time take Angie away from her but she’s got history too. She’s not going to get a free pass in this story. They will both need to own up to their responsibility for the demise of the relationship and also for the re-building.
