    A new beginning

    Bette and Tina had finished their appetizer and soup at this point. The main course would be brought out in a few minutes.

    “I agree with you Bette. I recall how detached I was. When I quit my job to get pregnant and you gave up the gallery to become the Director of the CAC we didn’t take into account how major those changes were and the impact it would have on us individually and as a couple. We neglected to check in with each other. We were not there for emotional support. We both took our roles as individual tasks that were independent of each other when we should have been interdependent. I think that is a major positive thing that has come from co-parenting Angie. We’ve learned that one of us doesn’t have to disappear into the other. We don’t have to fear that we will lose our identity if we are together. We can be mutually supportive and mutually dependent in a way that completes and complements us without losing ourselves in the process. Our success at co-parenting is based on both of us being equally invested in her happiness and well-being. We need to do the same in this relationship. I can’t believe we allowed ourselves to get so far apart. If we’d just had this type of healthy communication eight years ago we wouldn’t be here now.”

    “I don’t know Tee. Maybe we had to experience the separation in order to get to this point. Forgiveness is our first step towards reconciliation. I know we are both very sorry for the pain and heartache we caused each other back then. Hopefully we’ve learned from it and can move on now.”

    The server interrupts with their main course. He refills wine glasses and checks to make sure they have everything they need. They concentrate on their meal for the next few minutes then Tina asks…

    “Are you happy Bette?”

    “Of course I’m happy. I just told you how great all this is.”

    “That’s not what I mean. I know you’re happy in this moment but I’m talking in general. Are you happy being a Dean at CU? You are still so passionate about art. I saw that yesterday as I watched you and James. I see it when we work together on art projects at the center. I know the job at the CAC was disastrous. That was a huge mistake but is working at CU and just having a hand in these art projects enough for you?”

    1. Thanks! Woke to pee and had to read this excellent post. I’m acting like I’ve never read it before. Off to sleep again 4:35 am will be here soon for work. PPS

    2. Very strong post. In my opinion both Tina and Bette are truly trying to get this relationshipwork for good. Knowing how strong they (sexually) react on each other, it’s very strong to see that they hold back (shower separately) and talk. It gives me strenght in my situation with a friend. Thank you for this post.

    3. Fantastic update! I am glad they started to talk. I didn’t remember that it was Tina Who cheated in their marriage.

      And a very wise decision to hold back at a intimate reconnection. Let them first handle their trust issues and mistakes from their first relationship.

    4. Thank you so much for the update ! I am at the airport waiting for departure, just have enough time for two chapters……
      Honesty is still the best policy in couple hood. To be able to understand on a different perpective to avoid misunderstanding need a lots of endurance and patient. It doesn’t matter right or wrong, not about to agree or disagree. When you love someone is a package, you cannot select what you like or dislike in a person, is only how much you can endure and bring it into your life and of course if someone change to someone you like then why together in the first place…… Just a thought ….

    5. Im glad they are hashing it out. I know they have miles to go before they can actually get together. Please again no more drama lets get Tina and Angie back in Bettes house :) Cannot wait for the next update.

    6. Excellent chapter, Bette and Tina exorcise the
      demons of the past that nearly destroyed them, in conversation
      frank and abertademente, not to fall in
      same trap of the past because they have a new beginning.
      Perfect chapter.
      The complete constellation.
