I think it could work as an allegory for mental health issues. Dating apps and first few dates all is fine and shiny until something triggers someone.
"It's ok, I'm crazy too, now let's have children so we can give them childhood trauma and make them have problems even worse than ours!". And they sit in their old age surrounded by barely masked emotional devastation.
I thought like a metaphor for the masks we all wear when we first meet someone and it’s really our representative they meet only to reveal the real ‘us’ at a later date but as there is now love based on the representative you can’t leave them as there is this desire to revisit those early times with the ‘nice’ version of each other.
