But why did you want to tell her you're happy for her? Are you actually happy for her and you wanted to let her know/congratulate her? Or was it selfishly motivated in some way, like to make yourself feel better or to "try and be the bigger person"?

If it was just to congratulate her, then it shouldn't matter if it made you feel better. It's a nice, selfless gesture. If it was selfishly motivated, then that's probably why it didn't make you feel better. Because you're still trying to "win" the breakup or "be the bigger person" years later. The only way to "win" is to move on and stop playing the game.

Either way, sorry to hear it. I'd be upset seeing someone who cheated on me succeed like that. Sorry man

8 year relationship would have me wishing success upon the person whether they wronged me or cheated. I think through growth we can all get there but 8 years is a long time. My last relationship was 10 years and I broke things off from my end and still really wish her the best although there was no cheating or anything
