It's natural that after some time your partner will start taking you for granted. This happens in all long-term relationship. However, you can see to it that it doesn't happen very often and not for a long time.

Your relationship is based on equality, trust and respect. But when one of the partner starts taking the other for granted then it's time to take corrective measures. Here are a few ways to understand whether your spouse is taking you for granted.

I, Me, Myself

He is always talking about his job, his career, his life. Everything is about him. He would always expect you to ask about his day in office. But he would not ask about how your day was spent. And if you try to talk to him about something he would come up with 'Honey I am too tired, can't think now.'
He's never interested in listening to your likes, dislikes or about your friends. Rather you would be listening about his friends, colleagues or  his outings.

Having expectations

He doesn't share the household chores with you. But would expect to see the bath linen or the bed linen properly arranged. You are expected to arrange the dinner table as well. In other words you are at his beck and call whenever needed.

Kids are mostly your responsibility

Most of the time it's you who have to pick and drop the kids. It's convenient that way. But he never asks you if you need his help on occassions. Basically he takes you and your time for granted.

No time for you

He doesn't care about days or occassions that are important to you. Most of the time you will find yourself alone attending a friend's wedding or to an office dinner meant for both of you. In other words he is too busy to accompany you.
