If you take someone for granted, it means that you don't show appreciation for the things they do for you (as if you always deserved them) or the fact that they are with you. So generally speaking, you downplay the importance of their efforts.

I'd say that when you take someone for granted you expect him/her to be always there for you even when you dont' show them the gratitude they deserve.
