Imagine being immortal and breaking up with an also-immortal goddess. The BS would never end. At least with a mortal, you will eventually outlive them.
I am not so well versed in mythology (8n general), but I believe Hephaestus and Aphrodite are the only ones that break this mold. But feel welcome to correct me.

To any of the Percy Jackson book fans I think the part in the first book with Hephastus’s trap involving Ares and Aphordite is just hillarious. Part in parcel because it is confirmed that all three of those gods have demigod children (as if to say humans are just side hustles or just breaks and to them having femigod children doesn’t count as infedility) but are still involved in this love triangle and Hephastus is still plotting revenge over it. I mean Percy Jackson is weird with how it treats Greek mythology and story telling in general.

Weren’t those goddesses usually their sisters or cousins? Not that that stopped them, but just saying, their family trees looked like ladders.

Not always a human, not always a woman
