I've never completely bought into the theory of general relativity.

General relativity poses more questions than it attempts to answer.
First why do mass-energy curve spacetime? What is spacetime really
made of and how is it different from the ether? Why is there no
spacetime without mass-energy?

All these questions need answers and currently general relativty only
generates more problems. I think quantum mechanics is a more accurate
theory than general relativity because QM has generated applications
like photonics, quantum optics, quantum information, quantum computing
etc. General relativity so far has not generated any technological
applications.

How about GPS?

a mathematical construct really made of and how is it different from
the ether? Why is there no spacetime without mass-energy?

All these questions need answers and currently general relativty only
generates more problems like dark matter and dark energy.

The universe could care less what you believe.

You mean like early in the history of aerodynamics when people started
building things that went supersonic?

What you're after is called instant gratification.

So how do you explain everything that GR explains?
