I was dating this stupid boy in college, and I almost didn't go on a trip to Greece because I wanted to spend Christmas with him. We broke up a few months later, and I am SO glad I went to Greece. I definitely would have missed out. However, there is a lot to say about not comparing yourself to others by feeling like you're missing out. Good food for thought.

It just means you want to do something different.

What if I didn't go to the college I went to, what if I didn't date my ex...what did I miss out on, what am I missing out on now because of those decisions, but he has a great perspective and I have tried to rid myself of the feeling that I am missing out.

I can see why you a...I do believe in missing out... I can see why you and your husband don't though. I think it really depends on the situation and the person. If you are agonizing about choosing one good thing over another, then I can see why it's a positive thing to not subscribe to the whole "missing out" idea, because it can cause a lot of internal turmoil. However, if you spend every day of your life crammed in your basement playing video games, then you are definitely missing out...on everything! Or on a heavier note, if a child is severely abused or neglected growing up, they are missing out on the love of a parent and the stability of a home. So missing out is a real thing, just maybe not so much in the world of the educated and the privileged.
