What I was feeling - When Daisy invited me to her house for lunch
Daisy
invited Nick and I over to her house. At first, I thought it was a great idea because
I would be able to see her again. But the more I thought about it, the more I
was contemplating on not going. This is because of Tom. I despise that man. Not
only because he took Daisy from me but because he does not treat her right. She
deserves the world and he treats her like a regular trophy wife. The whole ride
there all I could think of was Tom. Just the thought of him fueled me with anger.
I did not think that I could be with him all day without confrontation. The
heat did not help any of this. It was one of the hottest days I can remember.
It made everyone so irritable. Even Nick who was usually even keel was very uncomfortable.
Throughout lunch you could feel the tension between Tom and I. I am sure
everyone felt it. I felt like he did not like me either. He saw me as a threat to
his “wife”. I could also tell Daisy was uncomfortable. Although she brought
this on herself, this was not the best idea. Before this lunch Daisy and I kept
in contact and she would come over to my house every so often. I do not know
why she wanted to do this. She knows I do not like Tom, and I am sure she knows
that he does not like me either. But it was not her fault. Tom and I needed to settle
our grievances.
Gatsby, I'm sure you can understand just how difficult this was for me too. Bringing the two most important men in my life together was a necessary step for me to feel okay. I only wanted to show Tom what a great man you could be, even though he was the one I married.... I wish you two could get along better. If you hadn't shown so much aggression towards Tom, maybe he would have more respect for you and see how good of a man you are to me. It's okay though; your disagreements don't really matter in the long run, because YOU are the one I'd chose over him.
