I think this is pretty normal, especially for people who like romance stories (which, given the size of that genre, is probably a significant portion of the population). Liking a "romance story" i.e. a story largely focused on the tension and relationship development/movement between two characters is a different thing than liking "seeing people in romantic relationships" i.e. following the daily life of people who are romantically involved with each other, even if the latter is, I suppose, the desired endpoint of the former! While I find the former quite gripping and entertaining, I find the latter boring (often actively cloying, even), so once the characters get together, it's replacing plotlines I enjoy with ones I find meh. There's a reason why a lot of romances end shortly after the couple gets together! And rarely have sequels!

And that's not even including all the stories where, after the couple gets together, they just don't know what to do with the characters -- either the characters have nothing to do or their relationship is filled with unnecessary (and honestly kinda depressing) drama. Or the ones where the part where they get together is painfully bad (contrived, underwhelming, unrealistic, out-of-character, rushed, etc. etc.). I wouldn't enjoy established relationship anyway, but also some canons have actively made me hate the characters and the relationship once they got together...

But yeah, for me at least, the problem is the more fundamental one I mentioned: I like seeing relationship development and characters dancing around each other. Once the relationship is static and resolved, I'm *yawn*. It's not bad; it's just nowhere near my top 100 things I enjoy seeing in fiction.
