What will she do next?
Although Tina had physically moved back into their house, she had not moved back in mentally.
She had foolishly believed that she had forgiven Bette her indiscretion with the ‘carpenter’, but their continuing difficulties with intimacy proved otherwise. In the three months since Angelica’s birth and the death of Bette’s father, initially their emotional intimacy had never been closer.
But after the loss of Bette’s job began to sink in, and their newfound need to watch their spending, coupled with the changes to their life and lifestyle regarding Angelica, Tina had found herself slowly falling back into her old habits of shutting down rather than voicing issues that troubled her.
She found herself wanting, no needingsomething, but what she wasn’t sure.
While Bette sat at the shallow end of the pool dangling her feet in the water whilst making funny faces and giggling at Angie, Tina would watch them quietly, contemplatively, considering if this is what made her happy, if this was what she really wanted.
She knew that she would never really be able to open herself completely to Bette again, and Bette knowing this had been saddened. Tina sighed at the revelation. How could she get past the memory of the infidelity?
The familiarity of their relationship was comforting, and it allowed her to move past the hurt. But could she blindly trust? That was another issue.
Not since that afternoon in her old apartment had they made such passionate love, now their lovemaking was staid, and the few times when they did, it felt like to Tina, borne out of obligation and guilt.
Tina craved more, she deserved more, after all she had seen a new world during her time with Helena, and had enjoyed the sexual freedom with her. So that a little while after moving back into their home Tina had surprised Bette with her conversation.
“We need to talk about something Bette,” she began as soon as Bette returned from putting Angelica down for the evening.
“Okay,” was all she said taking a cautious seat across from the beautiful blond woman.
“I think we should think about having an open relationship,” said Tina.
Bette was not a complete idiot, she had seen something coming as she too had felt the uncomfortable shift in their relationship.
Bette couldn’t blame Tina, after all she had opened the can of worms when she had strayed, and now that they were back ‘together’ she had noticed that Tina had not bothered to voice any opinions regarding their commitment rings.
“Define open,” Bette spoke quietly.
“WellI’d like to continue to see other people.” she studied Bette carefully. Was this really what she wanted? She couldn’t be sure, but she needed to do something, she was stifling sexually.
It wasn’t that she didn’t find Bette attractive any more, it was just different, Bette was different, too eager to please too guilty and it was killing Tina.
“How exactly would that work Tina?” Bette continued, shaking Tina out of her thoughts.
It was a good question as they now had a baby together to consider. Okay granted she hadn’t thought the whole thing through yet, but she was surprised that Bette was being so easy about it.
“I’m not sure yet, I really wanted to know if you would have any problems with it.” Tina answered coolly.
“I take it that you’re not completely happy with us then?” Bette’s tone was equally cool and to Tina, a little unnerving.
“Um, I am and I’m notI’m still reeling you know? And I don’t want to take it out on you but I really need to get out, without you sometimes you know?” Tina asked genuinely.
“You know I don’t want anyone else.” Bette stated as a matter of fact. Tina had not even considered this fact. This would mean that it would be just Tina seeing other people.
Damn.
“Well,” she said trying to regain her composure after this revelation, “that would be your prerogative, I mean our relationship would be open, both ways Bette. I would think that you would be happy about this anyway.”
Bette remained silent and continued to look deeply into her beloved’s eyes unwavering. She would do this, and she would continue to do what ever Tina needed or wanted, whatever, just as long as she would continue to walk through their door every evening and sleep in their bed every night.
Bette would do whatever it took to atone for her sins and regain that part of Tina that now remained hidden behind lock and key.
“Okay.” Bette resigned with a sad sigh.

If Tina is not happy she should let Bette go,i think seeing other people is not a good option. Post soon.
This is a fascinating trip to take them on. I’ll be curious to see where you take them.
OK B cheated, and was sorry, changed for the better, and now T wants an “open” realtionship? I think Bette could do better, cut T loose…post soon
I’m crushed…Damn you Tina!!! Bette needs to turn the tables on Tina…if she got out and did her thing, Tina would be raging with jealousy. Go Bette.
This is so sad… why Tina is doing this??? She has a baby and a beautiful wife… what more she needs??She knows Bette loves her so much…please make her see that ok…
Great job anyway…post soon! Please!
ohhhh this was sad!! I feel for Bette, when u do “wrong” in a relationship, the “guilt” u carry it makes u subject urself to some real “shit” Y can’t u let Tina open up and let them get help or explore some “stuff”2gether?????? POST SOON!!!!
Very cool, I’m interested to see where this will go! Post soon!
you know i dont believe in that “open marriege” thing if you are with someone you have to want be with her and only her if not.. the best thing is separate and move on even with child..Bette did wrong and she is sorry and now TIna wants the same thing? wrong wrong..let them talk and work things out together great start go on
Even though I am so crushed with your story, I suppose it is realistic though to take on this kind of story…
Please, please post soon…
Also please let them work things out and end up together…please!
Ouch! Whoa! another great Story but only I can say is WOW! Tina go for it you need to Explor what is out there LOL! Let’s the Drama begin! Hey this is really good Story I can’t wait for you to posted again Please continue Please!!
Please continue and I can’t wait to read their journey through your writing..post soon
Ithink Bette should cut her lost now. Move to the Office and stay there until Tina finds what she wants and need. Them she should just move on. Bette is so crazy about the baby,she will take anything that Tina dishes out, for awhile. Just wait until Bette wants to go out and dont come home until morning and see how fast Tina will change her mind. Let Bette find some happiness. S2 beat her down as well as Tina and her friends.
WOw…what pressure. Please post soon
That’s Bull…why would Tina wanna see utha people..great post though..continue the good wrk..Post sOOn..
Interested start, Tina’s asking for things that she doesn’t even seem want. Hope to read more.
God, what else can Bette do to make Tina trust her? Tina’s “pulling away” continues to be the downfall of their relationship.
wow..open relationship…oh well lets c what happens…post soon!
I’m sorry but Tina is full of it – either try to work it out or let her go – has she even tried to talk to Bette about what she needs. And Bette should get off the cross and deal with healing the gulf between them. Tina seems passive aggressive and Bette just seems passive. Well your story got a rise out of me – much like the TLW so you must be doing something right.
Great concept but i could never imagine bette agreeing to such and arrangement…no matter how much she wants to keep Tina. It is sad b/c i’ve felt that way before….feeling like you’d do just about anything as long as you could walk through the door everynight to that special person, but I’m no where near the “Type A” personality bette is and allowing that would literally kill me.
HELL YEAH!!! oh you should not listen to what anyones says and run with this!!!
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE WHERE YOU TAKE THIS!!
made props to you for thinking like this!!!
Something new and diffrent, I would like to see where you take it. I can’t see Bette going along with it for to long.
you should continue, great start.
thats sad.. bette is doing her best tina is not happy move on then.. i mean way would y want to see other people if y clame too love someone… tina need too see bette fore ho she is.. i mean she made a mistake.. but if tina wants too see other people thats wrong too me…. bette desurves more than that….. i mean if she dosen´t love bette any more just say so. so she too can go on with her life… sad…. hope they work it out…
I’d like to see where this goes. But seeing other people only spells trouble.
Damn this is good start and very interesting. Sad for Bette that Tina want to see another people. Ok let see what’s next, thanks!
really now!!?? this looks like its gonna b very very good!! keep em coming crush!!
wow, this is going to be interesting…although with tina asking about an open relationship she is backing away from dealing with the issues and back to their old behaviours…doesn’t she see that…bring it on and lets sit back and watch bette take this…..hmmmmm
WTF!!??!! WHAT IS TINA THINKING! I think I agree with lineke, T should just say goodbye if she is not willing to talk abt what she needs sexually. however the thought of seeing how T would react if B plays along will be interesting. looking for your next post.
im pisses at tina know, why did u want to move back home when u have doubts about the relationship. ok let them see other ppl but dont give bette some ditsy blonde like tina,make her biracial,tina will then reconsider lets date other ppl.
