Taking For Granted

When you have been with a person for a while you start taking them for granted. It doesn't have to be a year or even 6 months, it can be less than that when you begin to take someone for granted. In my last serious relationship, I...well...we began taking each other for granted a few months after we began dating.
It seems that when you take someone for granted you began to lose appreciation for that person and the things that they do for you then things begin to go sour and downhill. You stop doing those special little things that you used to do in the beginning. You begin to get a bit unhappy and the fights begin. "Why can't you do something special for once?" or "You never do anything for me anymore."
This is why it is important to never ever take anything or anyone for granted. Always remind youself how special that person is to you and how lucky you both are to be in each other's life. And notice the little things they do to show how much they care about you. This is not just a one-sided thing. Both people involved in the relationship must do this.
I refuse to take that special person in my life right now for granted. I have learned through trial and error to appreciate things more.
