Most of us would not really like to be on this situation. But sometimes life is unfair. No matter how nice we are to people around us especially to the once we have bonded with there will always be times that we would be taken for granted.
I had previous relationships before but this one that im into rigth now had really made me think that I am taken for granted.
Every time i make an effort to make the relationship work (like giving gifts,greeting her on phone when we are not togethter)in doing those things i feel that she is not that reactive or she is just plainy blunt and non-responsive at all and with that I really feel that she is taking me for granted for reasons that I dont know.
Was there a time in your life that you felt that you are taken for granted?

Many times I feel that people do not appreciate the good things you have done. If you are taken for granted, you feel insignificant. Sometimes I can be very angry and retaliate. In the past I have been angry every day. People I talk to simply ignore what I say. I stand infront of them as if I am invisible. They do not want to talk to you. What you say to them they will not give you any response. Well it all go down to one thing They do not need you. Your presence is not welcomed.

maybe they just can't see how special you are. Some things ar not appreciated in their pressence. Angry? to whom? to yourself? to the people around that is ignoring you? well you shouldn't be.. Instead, make this as an inspiration to improve yourself. Maybe there is something in you that you have to improve so that others will appreciate you.

Honestly, for every relationship that i had, i always feel that i was taken for granted. I never had a long relationship. In our house, i also feel unapprecaited by my parents. They always nag me for my mistakes but never praised me for my job well done. Sometimes i wanna runaway from home, but no place to go. I'm getting used to it anyway.

Sadly YES ... which is just one of the reasons I got divorced .. he was a lovely man, I won't hear a bad word said about him .. but .... !!
I'm afraid you are the only one who can decided what's best for you .. and I generally say to folks .. just ask her/him what the matter is .. but I have to tell you that you may not like the answers .. but at least if it's bad news you will know .. and if it's good news then you will be overjoyed ..

Yes there have been times when I have felt that I have been taken for granted, and sometimes life is so unfair, this applies to not only friends but also to family members that I have dropped everything and gone out of my way to fix their problems or done what I could and when it comes to me when I have problems there are some of them that only think about themselves not me which is very unfair for what I have done for them. Have you tried to sit down with her and lay your cards on the table so that you can move on.

yes i always felt that i was taken for granted, all my friend when they need help i always give them 100% of me, and when i need help no one seem to be around to help me with anything, and most of the time when they need help i am the first one to call and i was sick of it so i switch phone numbers and everything
