I am totally behind you with everything you've said regarding Doctor Who. I mean, to be fair, I've always found it a bit weird that the Doctor would be romantically interested in someone centuries younger and of a different species, so none of his romantic plots have ever really done anything for me since Four and Romana...
I really deeply enjoyed Donna because they brought up the possible relationship occasionally, and both of them were just like, "Whoa, no, would never". (I mean, I really deeply enjoyed Donna for a whole variety of reasons to do with her sassiness reading like an actual character trait, rather than like someone said, "I guess she'll be....feisty?" and not being the obvious pretty twenty-something girl, and having this really delightful arc where she learnt things about herself and developed her self-esteem, and where skills that our society doesn't usually put much value on were celebrated... I could go on. I'm still ticked off at that ending.)
And god, yes, I am so sick of the way he treats Clara. I don't know what Moffat thinks he's doing. It's not funny, it makes me hate this Doctor, and it really really smells of sexism...
