What I was thinking when I did not go to Gatsby's funeral

Even though I had loved Gatsby so much and he was a great first love, I would not let him tear apart my family, because they are all that I know. Tom thought it wasn't appropriate of me to go, and as we were trying to move and have a fresh start, he said it would be a bad idea to revisit past memories. Though I had feelings for Gatsby and may have been a factor in his death when I hit the woman in his car, I still loved my husband no matter what, for he is all that I know. I agreed with Tom and believed that is better to leave things such as those in the past and worry about ourselves and our relationship.  I loved Gatsby so much, but I was not used to the life he was giving me, and went back to Tom. I did not go because of my love for Tom and I believe his advice is beyond right. I want my past to disappear so I can continue my life with Tom.
