"Can you tell me that you love me?"
"This is all I ever wanted." his answer is a complete deflection of what Nikki says.
He doesn't love her, he never did. This is just him fulfilling his pathetic and lonely fantasy.
Bear is a pathetic excuse of a man, he is enamoured with the idea of Nikki but he is not interested in her what-so-ever. He is one of those guys who would say there's a male loneliest epidemic but we the active reason why he is single and miserable.
He claims that he is a nice guy but he actively abuses Nikki, takes away her autonomy, deprives her of being able to provide consent to any of this.
I like the claims from Inde on interviews saying that Nikki could be open to the idea of dating Bear but he is a coward who refuses to act and that's why she says that she doesn't feel love in her life.
When Nikki smashes her head with the bottle you can hear everybody in the background saying "Take her to the hospital" and yelling for Bear to do something but he stays put with no reaction because he is a coward that cannot act on the consequences of his actions.
Bear only wants to alter the wish because the way Nikki is acting makes him uncomfortable, because it becomes an inconvenience but not because he feels remorseful and that's why he hangs up on the customer service rep when he hears Nikki screaming.
Even at the end he chooses the most "cowardly" way to end it because he is not able to simply pull a trigger. He goes and attempts to puke the pills, he after all can bring himself to free Nikki because he is a loser.
