XW's mantra was 'we'll all be happier when were divorced'.
Your state would likely be used as justification no matter what. If you were unhappy, she could point to that’s why she couldn’t stick around, as it was dragging her down. Your happiness can be twisted to her ends too, as you said, she can say/reinforce it was for the best.
Either way, a rock and a hard place. However,
“Surprisingly, I’m doing well.”
I found that captures the essence of the situation and one’s forward movement.
This is a journey we didn’t sign up for. And we can and should make the best of it.
Also, gives a differing than expected response to W’s binary happy/unhappy thinking. If she hears about it.
Have a great day.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
