I get really bad migraines, really, really bad. After it was over I had to get a bit of food and something to drink, but it was very late and there was no way I would survive any kind of car/cab ride. He was the only person I knew in town, so I sent him a text to see if he knew of anything in my area that would be safe/open that late within walking distance. He drove 30 min across town in the middle of the night to walk me to a 24hr restaurant and buy me dinner. I&rsquo;ve been with him for 11 years now.-<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/melillareal/">melillareal</a></p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>2.
