Q&A Should I end my story with a happy or sad ending? [closed]

I am writing a romantic short story and I don't know which type of ending suits my story better. Currently my characters fall in love but one ends up "cheating" (they were never dating or anything)...

I am writing a romantic short story and I don't know which type of ending suits my story better. Currently my characters fall in love but one ends up "cheating" (they were never dating or anything) she tries to go on with her life but cant. She gets a chance to see him again and tells him she loves him. I'm not sure whether to make a happy ending where everything goes perfectly or to make an ending where he tells her he doesn't love her. (even though he does).
