Personally, I loved Anya and Xander is Season Four and Five. Their relationship made me like a little Xander. I'm so much offended by the authors assumptions went they seems out of blue. For example, I'm totally offended by Buffy's characterization in the comics: "She's just twenty-somenthing!" I get it. But she's much more mature and experienced than a normal twenty-something (Like me, for example), so why she have to make the same mistake of the others? Xander's anxiety about marriage ... Isn't only about becoming like his father, I think. Given to his past, Xander believes that people married harm each other inevitably. His fears aren't about his relationship with Anya and the fact that, maybe, they will end hating each other. I know some people who fear the marriage for the same reasons. But they would never, ever buy a ring.
