I decided to
marry Tom Buchanan for many different reasons. First of all, even though I was
truly in love with Jay Gatsby, he was away at war. I got tired of waiting for him to come home. I was
lonely, and I missed having a man around to spend time with. Tom comes from a wealthy family, and he is the
kind of man that my family expected me to marry. Jay did not have
that kind of money, and he could not have provided me with the kind of life
that I am used to having. Tom and I suit each
other very well and meet the expectations of our family and friends. I do love Tom. It’s not the same
love that I feel for Jay, but I do still love him and our life together. I know that he loves me the same way. Even though he has been with other women, in the
end he respects me and our marriage and what we represent as a couple.
