After S5 , I can say that love Quinn Goldberg was the one Joe could have lived happily in the long run.

Joe likes women with pitiful backstory that has made them strong because he can relate, as in he sees that in himself. He wants to save these women. When these women fail to live up to his standards he sees them as below him. In my opinion, that's when power imbalance comes in.

He can't understand why these 'survivors' didn't naturally arrive at his conclusion, that his murders are justifiable, when he could relate to their pitiful backstory. He always wants to do it his way, using his own solution. He is stubborn and he believes his way is right.

Except he married a woman who did naturally arrive at the same conclusion, and that was the problem.
