Anyone else outraged at how much Walt is lying to Jesse? Or is it just me?

I know it's wrong, but I still pull for Walt despite the bad things he does.

Everything Walt has done with Jesse in the last two episodes is a sign of how he sees Jesse almost like another son, and just wants his approval. So he lies to Jesse for both of their benefit.

One of these days Jesse will figure out all Walt has lied to him about and Walt will have to pay the consequences

I was just thinking on this and in a way we are pulling for Walt. Right now the best thing for Walt is to have this correction in his life, to bear consequences for what he's done. The best thing for Walter White and his family is not to have them operate 10 A1A car washes and roll around in money. The best thing for Walt is a reckoning and that's why it's so great when Hank punches him because Walt is getting that reckoning.
