30+ years left give or take

1/2 a year in and 1'm starting to worry marriage is basically just arguing about how to cook the potato croquettes while I secretly reminisce about the sex I used to have with the FWB, and then one day I die.

Always so relieved to be merrily single when I read a post like this

Time is slipping away.

We get up, go to work and buy things. Credit cards, lines of credit and car payments for something the at depreciates the moment you drive it off the lot and people are ridiculed for having a "mid life crises". Who's really pathetic? Not the person having the "mid life crises".

Maybe not 30 years

From the sounds of it your marriage isn’t likely to last another 3 years, let alone 30. Maybe you should decide what you truly want out of life before you throw away any more of it.

The only time is now.

They want to make you live in the past and the future, fill your brain with nonsense.

The past is gone. The future hasn't arrived. The only time is now.

Personally I prefer living on my own, but what you describe sounds normal.

It's not that marriage sucks; people just have unrealistic expectations.

First time?

Marriage is a contract, and a legal status. That's why you need a license and a ritual, and other people involved, and expenses, and documents, and maybe lawyers (later, one hopes).
Relationships and love are something else, and sex is yet another thing.
@! is right about the expectation bit. Thus why it's good to cohabitate for a few years. If you haven't dumped or killed each other in that time, marriage may make sense.
Or it may not. Consult your lawyer, financial planner and accountant. And maybe also your therapist.

A trial period is critical, much like that for a job or any other "tenure track". Except even more important for relationships. Optimal fit not guaranteed, nor reasonable to assume.
The "honeymoon" phase is so named for good reasons.
