Why did I choose Tom over Gatsby?

When I first heard Gatsby was back in town I wondered if our love was still alive. Seeing him again triggered deep feelings from the past that I didn't know were still existed. Gatsby and I fell in love all over again and I planned on leaving Tom to start a new life with my true love. Tom could see that I was in love with Gatsby and was enraged. After I accidentally hit Myrtle with Gatsby's car, Tom was there for me. Gatsby always asked too much of me and I could not handle it. He wanted me to admit to never loving Tom and that was something I just could not do. It was a lie.  I had to choose Tom over Gatsby because he came from old money and I need to be taken care of. Gatsby is driven on emotion and doesn't think before he acts. I could not bear to be with him because of all the pain that has occurred do to our relationship. Being with Tom secures my lifelong happiness that is filled with everything I could ever want. I've made some mistakes and so has Tom but we are both able to look past our transgressions and focus on the rest of our lives together.
