I Ship It… Until They Actually Ship

Is it just me, or does anyone else completely lose interest in a series or book the moment the characters get together? Like, I live for the chase—the tension, the will-they-won’t-they, the stolen glances, the accidental hand touches that feel like a cosmic event. But then they finally kiss, and I’m like, “Aww, cute!” …closes book emotionally… brain exits the chat.

I mean, sure, I’ll still continue reading or watching, but the obsession level drops from “I’d sell my soul for these two” to “I guess I’ll see how this ends.” Am I the only one like this? Is there a secret club of us somewhere, or am I just vibing solo in the land of eternal pining?
