If it's more, "This person makes me happy. I care about their emotions only to the extent that I don't want to make them unhappy, because that means they will stop making me happy." — then I would not limit Callous.
I will leave the arguments about which interpretation (or both, or neither) is the more realistic archetype to someone else.

I would base the decision on
effect, not justification. Sense of Duty works with Callous, but unless you limit Callous so that it excludes the person cared for, the character will still not care about their
feelings, just their well-being.
This means they still suffer the skill and reaction penalty with regards to that character, even if they are motivated to help them through Sense of Duty.
