One partner abandoning his or her life to be with the other is an inevitable outgrowth of telling romance stories set in a society where the extended family is the basic unit of society. The fact that it's been the women abandoning their lives to be with the men (save for Ren Zel, and Ren Zel & Anthora aren't major characters in the series as a whole) is because up till Theo, the Korval half of the pairs portrayed for major chunks of the book have been male. If Theo lifemates, I strongly suspect her partner will join her, not the other way around. (Which might conceivably be the impetus for her joining Korval-as-clan, since that would let Win Ton escape his, which seems to be much less congenital.)

I think the young lady's insistence on seeing the books through a feminist lens set in modern era (not even a feminist lens set when the books were written) rather sad.
