In this quote Tom means that Daisy should be okay with him having his affairs on her because he still loves her.
Tom doesn’t really see anything wrong with his actions and how he hurts Daisy either. He cares more about his status, money, and sexual desires. He
Another instance of Tom apparently being excessively concerned about Daisy doing anything without him occurred earlier in the book. After Daisy goes outside their house to
“‘Even that’s a lie,’ said Tom savagely. She didn’t know you were alive. Why- there’re things between Daisy and me that you’ll never know, things that neither of us can ever forget.” (Fitzgerald 132). Even when Tom knows that Daisy is cheating on him with Jay Gatsby, he contends his marriage and fights for her.
“ She’s not leaving me!” Tom’s words suddenly leaned down over Gatsby. “Certainly not for a common swindler who’d have to steal the ring he put on her finger” (F. Scott Fitzgerald, p133).

Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen was highly criticized for undeniably demonstrating woman’s issues in the 19th century. While the play doesn’t change setting much at all, Ibsen clearly focuses in on the characterization of three insightful characters: Mrs. Linde, Nora, and Helmer.
