It's a stupid question until you make it less vague.
No, it's not a stupid question and I wasn't more precise because I don't want this to be lost in details. But fine: you're wife cheated on you a great amount of times in the past. Is it better to know the truth and end your happiness or is it better to be ignorant but happy?

But you don't need all the details to answer my question: what is of greater importance: truth or happiness? Is it better to know all the truth and be miserable or be very ignorant and yet be happy? What do you think?
