    Taken for granted
    Im just wondering, when people say oh he takes me for granted, what does that actually mean? Like how is someone taken for granted and how does someone take someone else for granted?

    taken for granted - evident without proof or argument; "an axiomatic truth"; "we hold these truths to be self-evident"

    taken for granted - definition of taken for granted by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.


    To me it would mean when someone does something without prior thought to how their actions would effect the other person.

    If someone does not seem to appreciate you and thank you and show you that they love you and generally when you are loving they just like say*ya whatever* like its due to them or something.

    Like being a spoiled brat who just thinks it's their due for you to be nice.

    And not everyone feels the same, it is that they feel they are not getting the attention they should be getting.

    This means for sure that they need to talk and find out more to see why and what can be done
