Tina looked up at Bette and smiled.
“We were good…really good. You’ve really thought a lot about things haven’t you? Bette, I have to tell you, I’m surprised…at all of your insight…it’s good…really good…”
“Yeah, I have and I have found some answers, but you know what they say about hindsight being 20/20…I just wish I could have seen things a little clearer while they were happening. You did… in so many ways. T, I was so fucking blind…”
“Bette, I did know that our problems were real…but a lot of times …I let you shoulder a lot of shit…think about it …you’re in a job, that I know deep down you hate and is terrible for you and what do I do? I quit my job to have a baby…talk about putting a yolk around your neck…Shit Bette, what was I thinking?”
“Tina, you tried to get us off of a rollercoaster that was starting to affect our relationship…you tried to give us the family we wanted…please…what the hell else could you have done?”
Tina looked off into the distance and thought for a moment, and then slowly answered Bette.
“Thank you…I guess I’ve been beating myself up pretty good for giving up my job…I guess I kind of thought that was really the beginning of the end… and…and… that my obsession with starting a family was really the cause…”
Bette reached up and touched Tina’s face.
“T, no matter what…you always made decisions based on what you thought was best for us.”
“Bette, that’s sweet, but I am not a saint in all this…those last 9 months or so I was frustrated, angry and lost. I took a lot of that out on you. I would be bitchy when you’d work late. I’d be mean when you’d finally make it home, and sometimes, shit Bette, I know that I put a lot of pressure on you about sex. I always seemed to put it on you when we wouldn’t be intimate for a while…but did you come home to? Romantic dinners and a little spice now and then…once in a while but not really…you had always taken the lead in that area…but why the fuck didn’t I? You were working like 80 hours a week….there were so many nights I’d go to bed before you even got home…What the fuck was that about…Bette? I wish I had…I’ve wished so many times that I met you at the door…you know and …”

This story is such a breath of fresh air and I find myself hunting for an update. LOL I can’t wait for their first real date. PPS
D, you teased me. I thought for sure they were going to do the NASTY. LOL. But no, you pulled the reins in. I happy that they can talk, cry, and laugh together. The healing has begun. Great update.
:) This chapter made me happy. Heck, DnA, all of your chapters make me happy, even through the hard parts –like this one had, and even the ones that get me a bit teary. I’ll just say I’m happy when you post and leave it at that. Thanks for the chapter! :) (still happy!)
Terrific, a new post from DnA! I love them talking and getting things straightened out. I love Bette’s patience and the way she’s helping Tina really unselfishly.
The lines of communication have opened up. Now they can move forward and begin a new chapter in their lives.
Im really loving this story thank you so much for posting.
Update, please??
this was really nice, ya know? ;)
Awe that was so good, you leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling about how well they are doing. Wow Bette has given it a lot of thought and I like that she’s come up with answers. Nice writting and thanks for sharing with us
I really love this story. I’m glad they were able to have such a meaningful talk.
Hi D&A, Gal that was awesome. Your showed how good it is to real talk. There was such an air of love and emotional support through this chapter as Bette finally told Tina the complete truth about the events and feelings that lead up their break-up and the fallout.Tina need to hear this to understand their past and realize that they can have a future together.This was a cathartic discussion.I am so happy that they aren’t rushing anything as this is so precious to them that they need the time and space to come together completely.Now I can’t wait to find out more from Tina’s journal as her visible and emotional wounds heal.There will be scars but with the love and encouragement.Then the date…Oh I am so excited at the prospect.Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
I love all this talking that Bette and Tina are doing….it always felt like there was so much betweeen them and no words to express it….and you are giving it all words very nice
I love the discussions you are letting B & T have. So much love and support shown in this conversation. Thanks for the great update! PPS
