Another thing to note about Fëanor and women in general is that he loved his wife Nerdanel dearly- at least in the beginning. As evidence one can relate a few pertinent passages from the Shibboleth, as well as the physical evidence of Seven Sons.

However, it is also said of Fëanor, that he took the advice of few- only his wife Nerdanel, and then but only for a little while.

Fëanor was, from what evidence we have, initially in love with Nerdanel, but as time went on, this love soured. His only true, abiding passions were for his father, his sons, and his Silmarils.

Esty makes a good point about Galadriel, but I would still be inclined to think that her hold over him, had she wanted one, would have been more of a temporary one, likely to dissipate over time.
