I wanna feel happy but their relationship was on a downward spiral for like 80% of the story and the reconciliation arc is only like the last 20% of it (and Dan was literally miserable the entire time) it just feels like for all the suffering the characters (a.k.a Dan) experiences, the payoff just doesn’t seem worth what we had to go through. The reconciliation arc either needed to be longer or the suffering period shorter (I recommend shortening the suffering arc)
