I certainly believe Eol did love her. First of all, he married her. In those times, marriage without mutual love was unheard of. And, as I said before, she gave him a son, whom he loved and taught. The act of sex implied mutual consent, since rape was also unheard of. If both did not love each other, why else would they both agree?

I don't think the book describes any of his emotions from that point on, except for his wrath against Maeglin.
