There is danger in handling Scripture this way though, forcing explanations where one isn't given or necessary. Adam sinned, going against God's command. That's that. If we try and force a hypothesis or explanation for everything in Scripture where one is not provided, we veer away from the truth and purpose.
I'm not in the habit of doing that trust me...
But Scripture clearly says Adam was not deceived though...
Even if Adam did so out of love for Eve, he disobeyed God. And if Adam did this because he loved Eve and wanted to be a sinner with her, then he was deceived by "his love" for Eve.
Scripture says He wasn't...
And why would you think he was or had to be if he did out of his love for Eve anyway...?
Doesn't have to mean he was deceived at all, and can very much mean quite the opposite actually...
And, again, besides that, Scripture says he was not, etc... and Eve was, etc...
You see what endless loophole we can get ourselves into? It's not healthy or proper handling of Scripture to squeeze ideas in.
I don't see us doing that, but, whatever my man.... I see us getting closer to the truth is all... Were combining scripture with scripture after all...
God Bless!
