Oh, I meant Rose is happy in the candy timeline, but was only able to be so because John's choice not to go back cut her off from the bulk of her powers and the aspect of her personality related to struggles with responsibility and knowledge and stuff. She says so explicitly in the text. And that pisses me off. It's one thing to set struggles aside by one's own choice; it's another entirely to have that decided for you, and by somebody who doesn't even understand what the hell he's doing.
She gets her fate decided by outside forces (read: men) in the meat timeline too -- and again by somebody chopping off part of her life (here it's her relationship with Kanaya) -- but in that case she's clearly unhappy with the results.
