I'm the same way. I don't like things to end tragically, but I also don't want to flash forward to the future where everyone is married and has kids (because obviously that's the only "happy" ending that exists).

I just want the plot to be finalized with the sense that the characters are going to be all right.

I actively can't stand the flash forward to everyone being married and having kids ending. I've never once seen a series where that felt like a good resolution to the plot I had been dealing with for however many years and I always feel like it's just skipping a ton of character development, especially if the series dealt with characters who were kids/teens.

I don't mind this under certain limited circumstances, but I dislike that it seems to be the default, "normal" happy ending for a story. You rarely see a happy ending that involves someone being happy and single and enjoying their job, for example, or a couple who doesn't have kids but who are just fine without them.

I generally don't like flash-forward endings, not because of the marriage and kids but because I feel it removes too much room to imagine further adventures. I especially dislike the "Follow everyone until they die or sail west thing in the LotR appendicies since it's so FINAL. I don't mind it if it only flashes a little bit forward to show how people are coping following the finale crisis, or when a movie ends with brief descriptions of what the characters went on to do, like "Susan opened her own restaurant. Bob is now a successful used car salesman." or something like that.
