I will 100% believe that Jaime Lannister would go back. I would also believe he doesn't. Either way, a failed redemption arc is still an arc, and after decades of abuse and manipulation it is entirely feasible that he can't overcome it. The problem is that the story we are told is happening and what actually happens on our screens are wildly disparate. We are told that it's a great love, an addiction, him trying to save her. But we see him genuinely happy, we see her threatening (both him with Bronn, and Winterfell), we see him ignore her when she's in danger but goes to her weeks later when it seems she might win. This makes sense if he's trying to stop her, or if he's trying to save himself from her rage. It doesn't make sense if we're supposed to genuinely believe he simply loves her above every choice he ever made. That line about never caring for the innocents ignores such a core part of why he is how he is (slaying the king and being reviled by all but his abusive family dynamic for decades), it's one of the worst writing examples I've ever seen. And it could have been fixed with some tiny tweaks and maybe two more minutes of screen time
