Not every story has a happy ending. Hell, most of them barely have an ending at all.
Things just stop happening, and the world moves on, as do the players in the story. Hatreds peter out, loves fade away, narratives unfulfilled thanks to the mundane pressure of time.
But other than fictional tales we tell our children and each other in order to be who we are, some stories are told, and told well. Great romances, intense feuds, beginnings, middles, ends. Happy ones even.
This is the problem, since it means everyone expects their's to end up neatly finished up.
