She called herself selfish — then married him anyway ❤️

A woman shares a story from when she was 21 and dating a 27-year-old boyfriend. No matter if it snowed or rained, he always made the 1-hour trip to walk her home — because the hill up to her place was scary at night.

At 21 she took it for granted. But five years into the relationship, on a snowy winter day, he dropped her off and she watched him walk away through the window. Under the streetlights she could see his silhouette heading home alone, and it hit her — *how cold and lonely he must be* — and she just started bawling. She called herself selfish for never thinking about it before.

Punchline: she ended up marrying that guy. Now they have a 4-year-old daughter. She asked her husband if dropping her off all those years wasn't exhausting — he said sending her home alone late at night would've been harder. She ends with: "I think this is what love is."
