I think they've shown VERY CLEARLY Betty has zero romantic feelings for Jughead, hell she barely cares for him as a friend (didn't want to help Tabi look for him and only uses him, help investigating, reading her mind...) As for Jug I think they've tried to show 1)Jug wasn't over the betrayal and 2) getting over his IDEALIZED version of Betty, understanding he didn't know her like he thought and learning to trust himself and others again. I think the problem comes in when BH moments now are 1/2

Sorry I’m a little late responding to this!

So I’ve seen some similar thoughts going around about Bunker!Jughead and I do agree with them to an extent. He does love Tabitha too, said it to her over the busted typewriter. I believe him when he says it to her.

And I think it further served as reflection of the hot mess he was during a part of season 5. He wants to move out of the bunker and be up top with her, clearly envious of his counterpart, be present, but he’s still hung up on the past, or at least tangled up in how it still affects him. I don’t think he’s genuinely in love with Betty anymore or wants to get back with her, it’s just the ideal and trauma of it all. Betty’s apart of the spiral but she isn’t the spiral, it’s all of these detrimental choices he clings onto that are. Or were, since he’s worked to get past them. Idk, it’s just cool to see how much he’s progressed beyond that dark part of his life already.
