You explain this well.

I’ve been trying to explain that same thing to a lot of people.

My boyfriend and I have been together for four years already.

The 1 month after getting together was one of the peaks or my life and I didn’t think life would get better. Things eventually settled and we’re happy and comfortable.

Admittedly, I feel the FOMO when I read books and talk to my friends about their love life but I’m pretty satisfied since I get to experience those same butterflies from fanfiction and books haha.
