Him wanting to get married and seeing 18 as a potential partner is fine, how it happened and him risking everyone's lives by destroying the remote control is the problem.
Of course its a problem just like Goku letting Vegeta go after he killed all their friends (at a time if I recall correctly they werent sure they were coming back) doesn’t mean its out of character for Kuririn.
Honestly, Goku wanting Vegeta to be spared to fight him later is an odd one too, Goku had no problems thinking that he killed Tao Pai Pai or King Piccolo, never even regretted "killing" them because he wanted to fight them again later on, but then starting with Piccolo he wanted to spare some people to fight them later (Somewhat justified with Piccolo since killing him would kill Kami, he doesn't want that, but he also says he doesn't want to lose his "arch enemy"), so arguably the Vegeta being spared one is arguably even worse since it contradicts how he acted before.
Kuririn never struck me as a “For the greater good” type he has an infactuation with 18 she wasn’t a threat therefore he couldn’t bring himself to kill her
It’s like if you had to throw one person off a sinking ship (and its someone you know and had some attachment to in Kuririn’s case) to save everyone else on board? Some people could (the needs of the many...) some people can’t. I think its consistent with Kuririn’s character that he falls in the latter
He isn't the "for greater good" kind, but he does try to save his friends, and I'd give him some credit if he didn't want to use the remote also because they didn't do much evil (Since the worst they did at that point was steal a truck, though they also said they were gonna kill Goku), but the story clearly shows that he didn't use the remove only because his boner for her was too strong, in other words, if Cell had absorved 18 instead, he would have no problem using the remote on 17 and 16, so the "he won't kill innocents to save the world" point isn't something the story shows with the androids.
specialy since it goes a bit further than bad romance since he could've gotten everyone killed.
I would argue in Kuririn’s mind he still believed they could stop Cell from absorbing 18 without killing her.
He went to the androids with the remote planning to use it on them because Cell could absorb 18, and that's after he saw Vegeta so clearly beating the living hell out of Cell, and when he destroyed the remote, he told 18 and 16 to run, so he wasn't really trusting Vegeta and Trunks to handle Cell.

It can't be because of the moments of them as a couple because there aren't really any to speak of. If I don't understand, then explain it to me without going into Super.
It's how shipping works overall, sometimes just the idea of two characters being together is enough for people, and while there isn't much for Vegeta and Bulma, the self destruct moment and Bulma somehow feeling that Vegeta was dead shows that there was something in there, those moments being one of the few good romantic moments in the series help too, and fans like to fill in the rest with their imagination.
