Gatsby does not keep in touch with Daisy when he goes off to the war in the novel, The Great Gatsby as he wanted to be remain focused which caused him to excel. This is the man reason why Daisy started having an affair with Nick as he did not understand why Gatsby would not come directly to her after the war.Ê
Daisy does not wait for Gatsby because she is unable to break free from the comfort and security of her marriage to Tom Buchanan. She is torn between her feelings for Gatsby and her duty to her social standing and family. Daisy ultimately lacks the courage to make a choice that would truly fulfill her heart's desires.
Because all she truly cares about is money. Gatsby doesn't have enough money for her taste so she chooses someone who does. Really, in my opinion, the character of Daisy was based on Zelda who, as you probably know, broke off her engagement to Fitzgerald b/c he "didn't have enough money". So restating what I said she left Gatsby b/c she wanted money. Her and Tom were perfect for each other b/c they are both corrupt and heartless.
because 1) Daisy had already married Tom and 2) since Gatsby had no money, she wouldnt marry him because that's what she cared about most...Bad Girl

He couldn't find her.
