You may find some value in reading Games People Play. Not everything in the book is a game and thus (IMO) reprehensible, but instead provides great insight into the human mind.
Beyond that, have you considered he might have an emotional/affective disorder like manic-depressive disorder?
That is about the only thing of value I can think of it to say. I suppose you can try reading The Power of Now to help you deal with your attachment, or whatever.
