Does anyone have an issue with the Find Author/Happiness plot?

Besides all the flawed logic, I have one major gripe with this plot:

Regina was unhappy. Regina finally has learned to love Henry. Regina has no regrets because she has Henry. Regina became a "hero" in his eyes. Regina finally has Henry. Now, Regina is looking for happiness.

Unlike her mother "You would have been enough", this is saying that Henry isn't enough for Regina. She isn't happy enough with him. She's practically taking after her mentor, Rumple's idea that they both want more. Belle isn't enough for Rumple, he wants power too. He's the villain. Henry apparently isn't enough for Regina, she wants more. Somehow, the others are sympathetic to her cause.

Regina's my favorite character, but this doesn't make since. The show is painting like romantic love is necessary for happiness, or death is.

Happy ending is also a bit of a horrible phrase. I know it's from fairytales, but only one person has had a happy ending so far and that was Ingrid, and it was her literal death.
