Why does she get the happy ending

DP had emotional affair with woman on and off for 3 years. They kissed but nothing else happened.
I can't help but every now and again look at her Instagram page. She got married last week and looks so happy. Why does she get the happy ending when I'm still trying to work through the near break down of our relationship. We have come a long way but I know deep down I'm not happy and deserve more. We have three kids under 3 and I'm a SAHM feeling trapped. She doesn't deserve to be the happy one.

Social media is full of shit, she's hardly going to post pics of unhappy times is she?
Stop picking the scab & move on, either forgive your husband & work on your marriage or dump him & find someone who doesn't make you want to call yourself Mrs2ndbest.

Regardless of social media, what if she's truly happy? Nothing to do with the OP.

She gets the happy ending because she isn't living with the cheating bastard. She moved on.

You get the shit ending because you "won" the cheater.

Chuck the booby prize in the bin.

You staying in a marriage because you feel trapped by children and lack of job isn't anything to do with her. That's entirely your own shit.

What would have to do to become untrapped?

Yes I did. She got the lucky escape. I thought I'd won because he stayed with me but the reality is I have to deal wit the fall out

Checked his internet history today. He too has been googling her and obviously knew she was getting married.

I feel sick to my stomach

Ow is the winner out of this situation because she is free of your "prize" of a husband.

Get rid. He fooled you into thinking you had won. Don't let him take you for a fool any longer.
