Actually by the time Medb began coming after him Cu was already happily married to the love of his life Emer, who was the girl whose father required him to train under Scathach in the first place in order to earn the right to marriage (he then went back on his word and wound up dead for it).

Celtic culture was actually pretty progressive as far as relationships and gender equality goes, up until the Romans came and enforced their particular brand of cultural parity. Divorce laws were thoroughly modern, even up to the division of property, and there were no stigmas against a woman being head of house. As a fun fact, it was perfectly legal for a woman to divorce a man if he grew too fat for sex, which I can only imagine inspired GO's Caesar to completely rewrite their laws for them.
