You shouldnt fault jesse when Walt has manipulated Jesse time after time, always put him down, and in general has been an asshole to him.

Yes there has been times Walt has done good things for Jesse but because Walt has lied so much it looks like it was just to have Jesse on his side.  You need to remember that you need to step into the character's shoes.  And to Jesse Walt looks like a manipulative liar and even the good now looks like bad to him.  At one point and time Jesse would have done anything for Walt but Walt went too far.

Also take into consideration of how it would feel to have someon close to you poisoned. 

As I already said, there have been things that Walt has done for Jesse that would make absolutely no sense unless he truly cared about him.

Running over those "gangbangers" is just one example of Walt saving Jesse at his own cost and risk. He would have been better off letting Jesse die if all he cared about was the money and his family, but he considered Jesse his family. Walt did not need Jesse at many points already but went out of his way to protect him. He even wanted Jesse back despite having a superior (with practice) partner, for absolutely no reason other than his own happiness.

Which is why Jesse isn't observant. Walt has gone way too far for Jesse's sake too many times for it to be simply wanting Jesse at his side for business purposes. He didn't always even need Jesse. He could have killed him and not risked Jesse turning against him, too. But his own care for him is why Jesse even had the opportunity to betray Walt in the first place, and Jesse doesn't even realize that.
