Their mistake was making it a whole big deal arc, and having them actually date. This was obviously done for the ratings. But the problem is, if you have them date, you HAVE to break them up, because they can't keep dating for the rest of the show. (That's why isyl doesn't lead to them dating- it's written to end within the episode). And then the fans, who wanted to see them eventually get together, are even MORE invested in getting them BACK together, because now we KNOW they like each other. So you almost have to create a "getting back together" arc, because that is the Seddie dynamic you've set up from the beginning - this weird tension between them. Only this time, it's a lot more serious and the stakes are much higher, because they said they loved each other. So you can't just go back to the old cute Seddie bickering, and "will they or won't they," like nothing happened, because now they can really hurt each other. Your choice is either to put in no Seddie at all, or to do relationship episodes like pear store and iget banned, in which the parties come off as angsty and douchey. You can't win.
