He doesn't tell her he loves her to cause her more pain or to make it more difficult for her to let him go. NO! He is being honest with her about his feelings because she needs to know that he didn't trick her, he wasn't toying with her and now that his wife is back he is going to ride in the sunset happily ever after with his family being complete again.
I don't think, not even for a moment he does it to hurt her or to give her false hope. But I'd rather he didn't do it any more exactly because of this thread title. It makes it harder for her. I know it's an unpopular opinion, but that's how I feel. I was ok and even happy when he said it for the first time, but not so much now. I don't blame him, and I even understand, on some level, because I don't think he was thinking when he said it for the second time: he was just so consumed by his own guilt at his inability to save Marian that he had to confide in someone. But it doesn't change the fact that it makes it WAY harder for her.

Exactly. ITA.
