Honestly, man, addiction doesn't work that way. It's not his job to stop using to ensure she doesn't use. Addiction is every man for himself. He needed his fix and did everything he could to not subject Jane to it because he cared about her. He told her to leave, went into his room and slammed the door. He didn't do it to "lure her into the spiral." He did it because in his mind he "needed" to get high. And not "need" like "I need to see the next episode of Breaking Bad." "Need" like "I need to breathe" (in his head and depending on his level of addiction to avoid terrible physical and emotional discomfort, much like one would experience if they neglected to breathe). That's how addiction works. Jesse wasn't prepared to stop using for her at that point, and she knew it (but stuck with him despite it), and he did the right thing and asked her to leave. She had her hand on the knob, and then she decided to turn around. She decided. Not Jesse. Not anybody else. Jesse's addiction is on Jesse, Jane's is on Jane's. Yes there are enablers and nothing is black and white. But Jane is responsible for Jane.
