When she did consummate her relationship with Forrest she left because she was afraid that she would taint him. Only when she was really sick and needed him to care for her son did she allow him into her life, knowing that her running days were over. I think Jenny was mentality mix up in the head from her poor up brining not stable in her mind about love but she know abuse.
Which leads to bad behavior and no mental stability in some areas of her lif. I'm not sure about that, I kind of see it as cruel she says she loved him the night she slept with him but then the very next morning she runs away again if she truly did love him she would have stayed or even at the most came back after she found out she was pregnant. The poor man tried almost his whole life to be with her, protect her, and treat her good but she never gave him the chance.
To me I see her doing what's right for her boy so that he was taken care of after she was gone but I can't believe she truly loved forest she told him she loved him but the very next morning she ran away again even if she came back after finding out she was pregnant then it would have shown she did care but she waited years until she found out she was dieing to contact him again and then marries him that to me says hey I'm dieing I need someone to take care of my son when I die so I guess that I can stomach being with this dude until I die which is very sad because forrest loved her so much it makes me cry every time watching the part at the end when he is at her grave talking to her and says how much he misses her, the poor man fought his whole life trying to be with her and in the end he gets to be with her for a year before she dies.
So in conclusion I'm not sure I would call it selfish, I see it more as almost evil. Sign up to join this community.

Forrest fulfills his vow to write letters for Jenny, only to discover that they'd been returned due to an invalid mailing address.
After becoming a war hero and receiving the Medal of Honor, Forrest reunites with Jenny at a anti-war rally in Washington D. In , Jenny returns home to Alabama and has sex with Forrest before taking off again, continuing the cycle of her floating in and out of his life. While Forrest Gump's early conflict stems from events that took him away from Jenny, the final act drama explores what brings them together, leading to a resolution that's in some ways cathartic, but in others quite upsetting.
Forrest Gump 's climax explains the opening premise and builds to two major reveals. In , Forrest travels to Georgia upon receiving a letter from Jenny, who knows the truth about why her long-time friend spent years running across America - he was heartbroken and nostalgic for the past. Forrest discovers while in boot camp that Jenny has posed for Playboy while wearing her college sweater, which leads to her being expelled.
As a result of her photos however, she is hired to perform and sing in a strip club under the name Bobbie Dylan. While on leave, Forest comes to watch her sing and again saves Jenny — this time from men grabbing at Jenny's legs during her performance. Forrest beats up the men and tries to carry Jenny out the door to which she angrily breaks free and shoves her guitar at him — walking off stage nude and causing laughter in the crowd and Jenny gets fired.
Outside of the club, Jenny scolds Forrest for trying to protect her. Forrest admits for the first time that he loves her, but Jenny rebukes his claim, as she doesn't believe Forrest is capable of knowing what love is. She reflects on the day she and he prayed for God to turn her into a bird when they were kids, and has a momentary thought of committing suicide by jumping off the bridge, but quickly changes her mind and hitches a ride from a stranger in a pickup truck.
Before leaving, Forrest tells Jenny he's going to Vietnam; Jenny, now worried, advises Forrest that if he's ever scared in Vietnam to just run away.
Forrest promises and Jenny leaves in the truck. While Forrest is in Vietnam, he writes letters to Jenny daily - none of which ever reach her. Jenny, presumably homeless, is singing on the street corner for spare change when invited by a stranger to go to San Francisco.
She delves into the hippie lifestyle, participating in the anti-Vietnam war protests, and experimenting with hallucinogenic drugs. Following a mostly muted speech, the two run to each other through the water of the National monument resulting in applause from the crowd. The two spend the day together and converge at a Black Panther safe house.
While the Black Panthers are not happy with Forrest's presence, they all leave him alone, paying more attention to one of their members making a tirade.
Forrest witnesses an argument between Wesley and Jenny in which Wesley slaps her, causing Forrest to retaliate and attack him. Forrest then gets up and makes a naive, humorous remark "Sorry to interrupt your Black Panther Party" to the Black Panthers, whose tirade was interrupted by the fight. Forrest and Jenny are forced to leave, and they spend the rest of the night together walking around Washington DC and reflecting on their individual journeys.
The next morning, Jenny leaves for Berkeley with Wesley, much to Forrest's dismay. Before Jenny leaves, Forrest gives her his Congressional Medal of Honor, crediting her for his earning it and calling her his girl. As the bus pulls away, Jenny flashes Forrest a peace sign from the back window. Forrest and Jenny do not see each other for many years following the encounter in Washington D. Once returning to Berkeley Jenny broke up with Wesley and got another boyfriend who was a musician.
