You know your partner is taking you for granted if: You are the one stuck doing most or all the chores in the house and in charge of taking care of the household bills and responsibilities. Your partner overlooks noteworthy events like anniversaries, birthdays, or holidays, even though they are memorable and cherished by you. Your spouse hardly ever asks or wants to hear about your day.

One of the more noteworthy red flags is when your companion no longer bothers to thank you or acknowledge everything you do. Instead, they now expect you to do it all and get upset if you don't live up to their expectations. They no longer recognize how good you are to them and how good they have it. In fact, They often expect you to do more.
Feeling unappreciated or undervalued by your partner is bad for your relationship as well as your wellbeing. You can't physically force the other person to show they appreciate you, but here are some suggestions.
Re-evaluate your actions.
I'm sure you believe you show your partner more than enough appreciation, but take a minute to re-evaluate it and be honest about it. Have your hurt feelings made you less appreciative? Is there anything more you can do to emulate the type of behavior you desire from your partner?
Emulating the type of behavior you'd like to receive will require you to put the needs of your partner before your own. Warning! You are only doing this to set an example for your spouse. You could or should say I want things to change, so I'm willing to set a good standard to follow. In no way am I encouraging you to do it all the time, only if they reciprocate.
And if they do emulate and reciprocate, be sure to reward the appreciation that suits you to help them understand what makes you feel valued as your partner may not have a clue. So help them out by dropping a few helpful hints.
If nothing changes, there must be consequences.
Unfortunately, as said before, you can't physically force your partner to make the positive changes you desire. If they are not willing to make an effort or are unwilling to change, you're going to have to take a stand. If you don't stand up for yourself, they'll continue walking on you.
Although not very fulfilling, it's possible to sustain somewhat of a relationship even if you continue being under-appreciated, but that's a choice you will have to make. But it's at this point I once again bring up the option to try a magical solution.
If you have done and are doing your part, you've even gone above and beyond. If you've tried all sorts of tips and tricks but still have gotten no results for all your efforts. It's high time you get the admiration, acknowledgment, and appreciation you deserve. It's time to let the higher powers intervene for your sake and on your behalf.
