Except in a practical sense, it will not do to speak of such things as happiness and morality. If one is an atheist one should never speak this way. One should say, "We are products of a mindless universe, accidentally produced. We will live out our lives, and have some pleasures, and grow old, and die."
​
You come across like the sort of guy who'd drop into to a party and feel morally superior to everyone else because he's depressed about his mortality whilst they're having fun!

We grow tired of things. We after awhile are unmoved by that which moved us before.
​
The best way is to treat life like a journey and to try to move forward with new experiences, IMHO. This can often lead to one rediscovering the initial attraction of something (or someone ;-)) that has become tiresome...
​
Even a full circle can be a journey!
​
Sounds like you're more than a little fed-up at the moment....
