Taken for granted

Are we allowed to take people for granted?

I thought, if someone is really close to you, you are allowed to do that. At least, from my point of view. To me, we should be allowed to take people that close to us for granted, to certain extend.

Well, when I said taken for granted, is referring to take it for granted that they will always be there for us.

I believes most of us takes our family for granted. But, taking them for granted doesn't means that we don't do nice things with them, right?

We are allowed to take people we love for granted, don't we? I always take my family for granted, close friends for granted..... I take them for granted because I know they are the people that will stand by me through thin & thicks.....

When I say I take them for granted, means... I take it for granted that they will be there for me, through thick & thins....

'I take you for granted. I take it that you will always be there for me. You are not someone that I always need to check and see if you are still there....... that's why I take you for granted. I take you for granted in my life.... take it that you will always be there..... I take it for granted that you will tell me when things are not right in US. But you don't.... and that's such a disappointment. We are the 'granted-best-buddies-no-matter-what-happened' So, what happened to that pact?'

I asked this to my ex-bf aka 'so-called-closest-friend' recently........
