Nooooooooooo!

Gendo loved his wife so much that he used science to bring her back in
the form of Rei. 

Yes, his original goal was to use Rei as a tool to resurrect his
*real* wife, nothing more. I'm sure that this was an easy decision to
justify when Rei was still a little girl, but I wonder if even Gendo
would be able to predict what his feelings would be towards her once
she grew up and started looking and sounding like Yui. 

Having to deal with a younger, prettier, slimmer, bouncier version of
his dead wife on a daily basis - the living personification of his
belief that Yui still lived - a young woman who idolised him (and
perhaps was even attracted to him) and would do anything he asked of
her without question; it would not surprise me if Gendo did not
develop some sort of desire for Rei, no matter how repressed.

If his planned Third Impact had failed, I could easily see Gendo
forming a relationship with Rei as a substitute. Yes, the relationship
would be a little one sided (maybe he would ask her to dress in Yui's
old clothes for him from time to time and let him call her 'Yui'
during sex), but there is no doubt whatsoever that he would love her,
protect her and care for her...

I wish that I could turn back time,
'cos now the guilt is all mine.
Can't live without
the trust from those you love.
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love & pride,
because of that, it's killing me inside.
