"Confession is not betrayal. What you say or do doesn't matter: only feelings matter. If they could make me stop loving you—that would be the real betrayal."
Winston says this Julia while talking about being taken by the Thought Police. As long as they are able to love one another they will be rebelling against the Party. Once Winston is caught and confesses to his crimes he tells O’Brien that he has not yet betrayed Julia and O’Brien understands what he means. In Room 101 Winston finally betrays Julia and wishes his position on her. He is let go and when they see each other again he finds that she did the same for him, and both of them meant it.
