They don't even have to get rid of him. Riven and Musa can still grow alongside each other as friends and exes, which would also help to show that not all breakups end in either lovestruck exes dying to get back together because they can't function independently of their relationship (while making the other party feel/look bad) or exes out for the other's blood. They both can move past their mess of a romance, it's that Rainbow's writers don't want to or think that they can't because of how many years have been put into the two getting back together and breaking up and getting back together since there are still plenty of fans who want them to get back together and stay that way.
