Explain how a person can betray someone they never developed a relationship with.

The only person he came close to betraying was Korra, but it's not like he "went to the other side" or anything. They just became enemies. Becoming enimies is NOT, I repeat, NOT betrayal. Tarrlok was already sly, power-hungry, and deceitful. Korra never really trusted him anyway.
