I know this is bait, but I haven't done a Jerza comment in a while, so please forgive me :P

One, this is a shounen manga. Romance is not always paired with the level of depth you hint.

Second, everyone now knows that Jellal was being manipulated and that it was completely against the character they grew close to. Remember that Erza wanted to wipe the floor with Jellal before she was convinced.

Third, Jellal regained all his memories and even wanted to die. That's not a murderer I saw, I saw a repentant man.

Fourth, the soul-mate effect is in place. This isn't a soap. The feelings won't wane once established. We know Erza loves him and that Jellal loves her and that both relied on the others' support even before the timeskip, so any amount of time that passes is irrelevant because they won't find any other partner in that time.

Carry would give a far more elaborate explanation going into the depth of each character, but for now this is the main stuff. If you don't want it to happen, then fine, still a better love story than Twilight for you right? :P
