Why did Jenny run away yet again after Forrest asked her to marry him?

It seemed she was tired of running around and finally appeared content being at home with Forrest. Then she fucks him, storms away and has his kid without his knowledge. What the fuck? Any thoughts?

    maybe b/c 'content' does not mean 'love'....and also, she had her myriad issues, maybe she didn't want to complicate forrest's life, let HIM live his life and be content. perhaps she felt 'unworthy' of easy contentment. she didn't have an easy upbringing, so a plethora of 'reasons' as to why she wouldn't stay in an easy, content relationship.

    Pisses me off how she treated and took advantage of Forrest and his love at her convenience. Forrest should have wised up and he could have had a ton of fucking tail..

    It was on HBO this weekend ;-)

    I think it was just that she did not feel worthy of him. She was good enough to fuck him but not good enough to be his girl? Who knows.

    I love this movie.

    Maybe or maybe she was simply selfish ;).till she found out she was dying..but why not tell Forrest about the kid? His life wasn't all that complicated and Forrest would have been able to handle just about anything as evident by all the challenges he faced along the way..he rode the wave with no questions asked..in most cases..

    me too....obviously she had issues with the way she grew up but i would think after he beats up every guy who's bad to you, comes in his shorts when he sees your boobies and let's you "rehab" at his crib, you would pull your head out of your ass and realize the guy will be the best thing you'll ever have...

    or she could have been up front with him instead of leading him on, thinking she was sparing his feelings but just hurting him more.

    jenny was fucked up. forrest was her best friend. but he was too close to home for her. she couldnt be with him because of that. despite that she knew he was a safe place for her. but she didnt think she was worthy of him. oh did i mention she was fucked up.

    i dont think she saw him more as a brother figure. and i think thats what a part of the problem was. she didnt want to take advantage of him because of his 'slowness', burdening him with her baggage and so felt the need to distance herself from him when he was getting too close. in the end though she realised the only person who would take care of her and the baby would be the baby's father.

    Females: Jenny... poor thing, she was all messed up. She didn't really know what she wanted.

    Males: Fuck that skank, she should've OD

    But the thing that really bugs me is that Bubba died. Coolest character (after Forrest of course)... Shrimp is the fruit of the ocean, you can boil it, sauteé it, fry it... you have orange shrimp, coconut shrimp, shrimp caserole... Dammit, I feel like shrimp now.

    yeah, but it's still being selfish and using him for her own benefit. she managed to see past his slowness when she needed help

    and yes im that perfect that if i were jenny no way would i have gone to the one friend i knew i had in the world and who i knew would never turn me away. id lay down in a gutter somewhere give birth and die and allow my child to never know its father. :rolleyes: :p:)

    jenny knew forrest deserved more than that. and so did she, it just took her a while to realise. tis very difficult to allow yourself to love someone. and yeah she needed forrest.

    not saying she wasn't smart....makes sense to go to someone you know you can rely on. she needed him when it was convenient for her, regardless of his feelings....that's the point i'm trying to make.

    so were suppsoe to make decisions based on what the other person feels and wants regardless of how we feel and what it is we want? she needed him, he allowed her behaviour. its not always so cut and dried. forrest could have told her to fuck off.
