The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence 

Refers to the way we tend to look at other people’s lives and other things that we don't have in general through rose colored glasses.

Comes from the idea of looking at a neighbours lawn and seeing it as better looking, healthier and overall greener then your own when in reality you’re just ignoring anything negative about it and downplaying everything positive about your own.
Friend#1: You’re so lucky, you went to a great college, have money and you’re so smart and will probably accomplish more by the time you’re 30 then I will in my entire life.

Friend#2: Are you serious? I’ve always envied you. People expect so much out of me. I’ve never been able to have a life because of studying and other schoolwork. If I get less then an A, people freak out like I got an F. I may accomplish that much, but with all the pressure on me I’ll probably be insane by the time I’m 35. In so many ways, I wish I could just be a regular guy with normal expectations and a normal life.

Friend#1: Wow, I honestly never looked at it that way. I guess it's true that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

the grass is always greener on the other side 

"The grass is always greener on the other side" is a statement used in the English language when one notices cows in a pasture stretching their necks through openings in the fence to get the green, uncut grass, on the other side.
Person #1: Why is the cow trying to stick his head through the fence?
Person #2: To get the grass.
Person #1: Why don't they just eat the grass in their pasture?
Person #2: Because, the grass is always greener on the other side.

Person 1: Is that cow trying to choke itself?
Person 2: No. It's trying to get grass. The grass is greener on the other side.
