I'd like to argue that it makes no sense for durge to kill their lover, especially based on what was told in the game.
When we embrace Bhaal, Sceleritas says something along the lines of keeping your partner around to make more bhaalspawns (of course this does not work for everyone) but he still implied that Bhaal would not mind you keeping your partner alive. The scene for killing your partner should have been optional I personally think its ooc for durge to kill their partner when they wanted to rule with them first. Especially a certain line with Gortash when it says you will rule first & then slaughter everyone. (i'm just paraphrasing lol)
I was going to attempt to do a truly evil durge run (even though it would break my heart) when the new patch came out but I then decided not to bc I don't want kill my partner lol. BUT I would love Sceleritas to still be alive if durge rejects bhaal. I love him so much & hes so goofy. But it also makes sense that he dies with a redeemed durge bc he was essentially only there to make sure durge stays on the correct path bhaal wanted them on, bhaal is the one that created sceleritas after all so him staying alive would not make sense even though I wish he could
