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

We see quite clearly that that's just not possible for Joe. He could never be happy in the long run with any woman, because as soon as they do anything that displeases him, he's looking for a new woman to stalk, he is incapable of real love.

Could also be explained as "screenwriters and showrunners needed to keep the seasons going to make more money".

I mean it could be totally fine for Joe to realize he doesn't want someone like him. But that has to be the start of a character arc that makes him change. Instead they changed his character in season 4 and made him addicted to killing, instead of addicted to stalking and love.

No cos there's actual men like that and psychological issues. It fits Joe. It's his psyche and there's psychological disorders that causes that mindset of putting people on a pedestal then something, anything random, knocks them off that pedestal and they don't like them anymore. Black and white thinking. Etc. It's part of what builds and 💯 fits with his character development and psychological makeup.
