Am I alone in disliking this couple?

Xaden and Violent were interesting and exciting in Fourth Wing by from mid-Iron Flame on and Onyx storm they just give me the ick and second hand cringe. Its strange because I love the rest of the book but I have to skim (or completely skip) through any of their scenes at this point because they sound like immature 15 year olds and both of their characters are in their 20s at this point. And Violet is actually quite mature and interesting in all her Non-Xaden scenes.

I also think what was so interesting about Xaden in the first book was how he balanced protecting the marked ones, his role within Basgiath, his relationship with Violet and then obviously his role within the revolution. Now there is no tension in anything about him because Violet isn't just his top priority, its seemingly his only one. >! Then the whole Venin thing just amplified how one dimensional he had become since Fourth Wing ! <

Their relationship is not just toxic, its boring. We get it, you aren't going to chose anything or anyone over each other, even it means all the people you spend the rest of the book risking your lives will die. But putting the cognitive dissonance of that aside, there is no tension that keeps me interested in them. They are end game, great I guess, but i don't need to be reminded of all the things theyd give up for each other or all the things they'd rather be doing with each other every 5th page or so. Are there no other couples or romances that could be explored? >! Now that Xaden has gone full Venin could we not introduce a new love interest for Violet until they figure that out? ! <Something, anything I am begging.
