Also, Frodo did desire to destroy the Ring when it did not have control over him. Gollum desired it all the time. Gollum was consumed by greed for the Ring while Frodo wanted to destroy it.
The reason that Frodo couldn't destroy the ring was it had such a strong hold of him that he couldn't even remember home.
