I think that it's more of a case that they think that a happy couple makes for a boring story. Only through conflict, pain and angst can this ship be interesting to them.
It's the classic Mulder/Scully Effect - The 'will they/ won't they' is compulsive viewing but the very same fans find a settled relationship for the characters boring. They need constant dynamic change (for better or worse) to keep invested.
de_la_Nae:
That sounds insane to me. They have to get a valley sometimes, or the next peak won't have any effect.
Where are they getting their lows, then?
Thrudd:
CNN, Fox or the weather network. :-P

How do I break this to you, de la Nae? We're... We're all sharks. I'm so sorry we didn't tell you sooner.
Thrudd:
Not all are sharks. Some are pilot fish just tagging along waiting for tasty morsels.
There are also barracuda, Clownfish, wrasses, moray eels, gobies and the innumerable cuttlefish [aka lurkers].
