Married too soon. Did I settle?

Hi. I haven't actually said any of this out loud, but I've been feeling this way for a few months now. I met my husband in August 2017. He proposed to me 2 weeks later. I just figured that was the "you'll know when you know" thing people always talk about. We got married February 2019. For a long time I wanted something serious, but I could never find a guy who was willing to give me a commitment. I hated being single. Then I met him and right off the bat he wanted all the same things I wanted. It was great. We were inseparable. Now that we've been together for about 3 years and married 1 year, I'm feeling like I may have wanted a commitment so badly that I jumped at the first thing that popped up and didn't really think it through. I recently have been feeling like he loves me more than I love him. He does anything and everything for me. All I wanted when I was single was this. The married life with a man who would bend over backwards for me. Now that I have it, I can't help but miss being single and being able to date and do what I want and go out and be free. It's like I always want what I don't have. I don't know if I'm just in a rut with him, and this feeling will pass, or if I really did settle instead of waiting for someone who I'm more in love with? I really don't know. But any advice or similar stories would definitely help. I can't really tell anyone I know because it'll get back to him, and I don't want to hurt him.

It’s been a year since you posted this, what is the status of your relationship now? I’m going through similar.
