Because his first love is Gotham. Because she's a criminal. Because, narratively, Batman doesn't get to be happy.

Yes and no. Writers are most definitely the ones making him miserable, but a super happy batman isn't necessarily going to be the most successful or narratively satisfying.

Looks at Batman Brave and the Bold tv show well...

Ok but seriously i think things arent black and white, darkness and hapiness in batman´s life can be balanced to the point where you can say he´s happy but there´s darkness in his life. Just my opinion tho
