Never understood this rule. Its the only letter that needs to be paired together. I cant think of any words that are just Q without the U. Why are these two inseparable!! I need to know why!!

English didn’t always have a dictionary. In the past, people just sounded out words and spelled it how they liked. At the time someone decided to make a dictionary, C and K were more popular for the K sound, while QU was more popular for the KW sound. There was also a time when the royals tried to make spelling more complicated, just so it would be harder for the poor and uneducated to learn it.
