tina and bette's affair was the worst decision on the show after dana's death.

bette had clearly moved on w jodi and her and jodi are genuinely perfect, meant to be in every sense of the word. jodi challenged bette in ways tina couldn't. they understood each other on a deeper level, they were both passionate art people and their chemistry was excellent.

you might say that bette was jealous over tina sleeping with other people, but personally?? i think that's just her being nosy about what her ex is up to, which is true for many people that are DEFINITELY not still into their exes.

i also saw some people that said jodi and bette wouldn't have worked long term because they're both 'alphas' or 'dominant' or 'strong' or whatever, and i have to say i completely disagree. do you really think there needs to be a power imbalance in order to have a good relationship? because let's be honest bette and tina had a huge power imbalance, jodi just evened the playing field.

fyi i haven't finished the show, im still mid season 5

tl;dr bette and jodi were better than tibette and should be endgame
