[She and Wilson are platonic-married. Not that that'd end well, either; Penny had a chat with a future-Wilson who was well on his way to dying.
But, of course, she isn't thinking about Wilson right now. What Chase is saying is in line with her general philosophy that everything can happen to everyone--good or bad, whether or not it's deserved, however hard people try to get what they want (although she holds on to the hope that something good will happen eventually). It's easier to share that philosophy with others than to accept that it applies to her situation, too.
Penny doesn't vocalize any of that since talking will lead to crying, and she'd rather not cry all over Chase.]
