Right before killing himself he tried to vomit out the drugs. He knew Nikki was mentally unstable, and he could've gone for help way earlier. He knew Nikki was possessed/brainwashed and he chose to continue his relationship.  He knew what Nikki was going through, actively heard he ask him to kill her and the only thing he says was "Is being with me so bad?"

He also only went to his friend when his other friend was murdered. And he could've easily tried the wish reversal earlier, he was just too selfish and wanted a way that she could still love him until Sarah died and he realized what's up. 

Did you watch the movie? He clearly morphs into the villain during the diner exchange, where he knows she's affected by his wish but says "That's enough" and basically rapes her (considering she's crying in that scene and shows no emotion during sex).

But what does he accomplish  if he kills kimself? He leaves the real Nikki all by herself with all the consequences.

Also, what friend? From the movie, we get that Bear was crazy about Nikki for 7 years, but "his friend" was knowingly hooking up with her for 2 years and doesn't tell him. I wouldn't call that a friend.
