Answer 1

You can also change it up and say "no me agradeces", or you don't appreciate me. But that is more reserved for an argument!

Answer 2

Both "tomar por hecho" and "dar por hecho"

The first pretty much means the exact English phrase to take for granted and is often used in personal situations:

Me tomas por hecho - You take me for granted

whereas the second is more like the common expression 'it's a given' or 'it's generally taken for granted" and it's used for less personal situations and more for situations with wider applications:

"Es dado por hecho que nuestra sociedad vale la educatíon." It's taken for granted that our society values education.

"Es dado por hecho que nuestra sociedad valora la education." It's taken for granted that society values education. - Driver9, Sep 19, 2015

Answer 3

At a more personal level, as when referring to a relationship it is more appropriate to say "no me des por garantizada(o)" ( en primera persona del singular) or "no la(o) des por garantizada(o)" (tercera persona del singular).
