Some thoughts:

The PC is from a tribalistic society that places great prestige on reproducing. Not having a mate is a slur on ones virility or femininity (anyone remember those pitiful barren women in the Old Testament or Mrs Bennet's fanatical matchmaking)?.

The character is cursed by Fair Folk. In that case unluckiness in love is Cursed or Jinxed or both. It might even be a Gaes.

In fact if you make it a Gaes you can play with it a lot. "No children will come to you if you draw a weapon in battle". Maybe there can even be a way to get rid of the curse. Something equiv to stealing the jewels from Morgoth's Crown?
