I just have one more perspective. Perhaps a lot people/media etc talk about the fleeting excitement of those 'phwoar' moments because they never get to experience the feeling of being truly loved, because that's so much rarer. And if they do, they realise it goes without saying that it's amazing. It's not cool to talk about being happily married like it is to talk about some sexual conquest, which is probably ultimately not fulfilling so you have to big up the good bits.
You have a fella that supports and loves you, satisfies you in bed, makes you laugh and slaps you on the arse when you're making sarnies...after having kids even. That is the absolute dream for many.
You have lobster, beach-side in the Maldives, it's just missing the garlic butter to make it perfect. You've heard people talk about how good fish and chips in Brighton is. And it really is, and you really want to try it, and it's tit that they've all done it but you can't get to Brighton...... But maybe it's only their favorite only because they've not had the lobster in the Maldives.
Personally, I cannot stress enough how over rated lust is compared to a good relationship IMO. Though I entirely understand FOMO and wanting what you can't have no matter how many times someone tells you it'd be disappointing, so i'm not dismissing the desire, just saying be clear what it is. You wouldn't desire the thing you were missing out on if it didn't seem so good.
