In my opinion, Dexter and Lila should not have stayed together. Regardless of her obsessive attachment to him, he did not want to be with Lila. Furthermore, Dexter was a serial killer, and his first rule was to never get caught. Since Lila was a thief, arsonist, unlawful resident, extremely jealous, and frequently caused scenes, it wouldn’t have been long before her behavior jeopardized Dexter. He likely stayed with Rita out of affection, but she definitely provided a safer cover life for him. Lila could not accept his choice, in that she was deluded that she and Dexter were “soul mates.” So, naturally, she did what any rejected woman would do...set her home on fire, frame an innocent man for rape, kidnap children to burn them alive, and blow up a complete stranger. That’s not love, and Lila was dangerous.
