I'm not sure if someone in the grip of an addiction can think in such logical terms. The addiction changes the way the brain processes information. It has nothing to do with how much he loves you. And you can't be good enough or loving enough to change the way his brain is working. I'm not sure someone in the grip of an addiction can even *see* other people or other situations in the way others do.
When I'm mid obsession, I can look normal, I can respond in a normal fashion. But my brain is not behaving normally. It has nothing to do with anyone but me.
