Based on your answers, it’s unlikely that you are being taken for granted, which is of course a positive thing. Healthy relationships bring out the best in you and make you feel great about yourself. No relationship is perfect, but if you feel loved, you communicate openly with each other, spoil each other occasionally and stay loyal to each other, you will come a long way. However, if you feel like something isn’t quite right, you should not hesitate and talk with your partner to understand what might be going on.

Based on your answers, you are displaying some signs related to being taken for granted. It’s very important to feel appreciated in your relationship. Try to be open and communicate with your partner about your feelings before it’s too late. Your partner will either realize they were wrong by taking you for granted and try to change, or continue doing what they were doing. Then you will have to decide whether it’s worth it to stay in this relationship. Remember: you deserve a healthy relationship that you feel happy and comfortable in. Be strong and do what is best for you.

Unfortunately, you are displaying the signs typically seen among individuals who are taken for granted by their partner. When your partner stops seeing everything you do for them as great acts of kindness and starts seeing them as everyday life, it will damage your self-esteem. It will make you feel like your partner is just not very interested in you anymore. Remember that you have a choice. You can choose to stick to your relationship and openly communicate with your partner, or you can choose to leave the relationship. Only by communicating with your partner, you will find out what is really going on. Maybe your partner has a lot of work stress. Be strong and do what is best for you.
