I asked my Dad about this when I was young, I remember the mental gymnastics. The context was slightly different, but it was after an aunt and uncle had separated and notably could not be around each other. My question was: When kelly (their daughter) dies, will they be together with her in heaven? Even if they still don't want to be together? So they'll be together there forever? Etc.
Unless everyone lives in their own bubble universe filled in with memory generated replicas of people they knew in real life, then it's going to be patently impossible for everyone to be permanently happy in heaven.
The good place does a good job of looking into this to. good show.
