I don't think he did love her. I think he got used to being with her, he became comfortable, and since he hadn't been in a relationship with one woman for so long that he's mistaking routine with love. Jeanne, as portrayed onscreen, is the type of woman he would normally run from - needy, manipulative - but he had to stay with her, so he got used to her ways.
There's an interesting conversation on TWoP where a person suggests that Tony needs approval and reassurance, etc., and if he were on an undercover op where he got something like that, say, with a father-figure who treated him like a son, encouraging and praising him, we might never get him back from the op.
