Well, the whole point was that he's able to love and that's why he's a better person than the other dude blah blah blah, so he's obviously going to have a happy life after the battle, unlike Frodo, who won because why again? He was stubborn as fuck? And don't forget too that wearing the ring greatly affected him emotionally, to the point where he went to the Grey Havens and back across the sea. Even Sam went as well, although Sam did live more of a life, but Sam wore the ring much less.
