Oh, absolutely. Chris has never been looking for love, affection, etc. He's been looking for someone (or several someones) that he can dump the responsibilities of his life onto while he goes off and indulges his whims, likely on his heartsweet's dime. The man is pathologically selfish. Chris would rather leave his soiled, untreated underwear in the laundry hamper for Barb to eventually discover and clean instead of changing his diet, getting exercise, suffering the 'indignity' of wearing adult diapers, or laundering his dirty drawers himself. Things may have possibly changed recently due to Barb's frailty, but that's only out of necessity. Chris wants to use, use, use someone.
Chris has "loved" each of his "girlfriends" within the space of a couple of weeks. He doesn't know or understand romantic love. He's not even looking for love, he's looking for the sense of elation that would come from the knowledge that someone else will pay the bills, provide him with sex, sort through his unpleasant emotions, and keep the trolls away. For Chris, a relationship is a goal, a thing to achieve after dumping Bowser into the fire pit. Watching him fail and complain about loneliness shows him rightly losing at something, and considering how he's avoided fines and jail time for his lousy behavior, knowing that he's losing at leeching off of someone is really rather satisfying.
