You can afford to take certain things for granted, but never take a woman for granted! She, giving importance to someone shouldn’t mean that she’s always free. The risk involved in taking someone for granted in a relationship is total; things taken for granted eventually get taken away by another who appreciates it. Taking someone for granted pushes her away and increases her insecurities; there’s nothing lonelier than being in relationships with people who take you for granted. You’ll expend more energy in fighting for their attention than in building a stronger relationship.
Don’t think to leave the relationship; maybe that way, he won’t take you for granted. As a woman, you may have all the traits men look for; the way you present your values marks you a high-value woman or otherwise. It’s very possible that he ’s just taking what’s readily and easily available. What men want and value are things they contribute to it. Does he know that you feel used and slightly abused as you constantly fight for him? It will pay you more to sit and have an enlightening conversation with him before closing that door.
