Myrtle had earlier seen Tom driving Gatsby's car. When it came back, she assumed it was Tom again, and, having just had a heated argument with her husband, who realised she was having an affair, ran out to stop him, and presumably beg him to take her with him.
Because she thought he was a gentleman, and that he knew something about breeding, but was wasn't fir to "lick he shoe. As stated on page 34 of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
In "The Great Gatsby," marriage is depicted as both a symbol of social status and a source of discontent. The marriages of characters such as Tom and Daisy Buchanan, as well as George and Myrtle Wilson, highlight the disillusionment and infidelity present in relationships during the Jazz Age. Additionally, Gatsby's love for Daisy and desire to marry her represent his pursuit of the American Dream and the idea of reinventing oneself through marriage.
The Great Gatsby is a classic novel. The scene at the New York apartment reveals a lot about Tom's character, mainly that he is not going to marry Myrtle.
Physical Appearances: Daisy is light skinned and blond, while Myrtle has a more swarthy complexion and dark hair. Daisy dresses mostly in white, which represents her cleanliness and purity, while Myrtle chooses vibrant colors that reflect her loud personality. Daisy is ethereal and graceful, while Myrtle is robust and brassy.Upbringing/Class and Personality: Daisy has been raised in privilege, while Myrtle has had to claw and scratch for everything she has. Daisy considers her wealth her "due", while Myrtle's increase in status (through Tom) is fairly recent. Daisy is "old money," and therefore comes from "good breeding." Myrtle, much like Gatsby, is considered an upstart with no business hanging around with New York's elite. People with "class" shouldn't (gasp) EARN their money. People of class either inherit their cash or marry into it.
No, Tom doesn't want to divorce Daisy and marry Myrtle instead- he finds a 'lower class' mistress to have an affair with, just because he can, and due to his arrogance and Hubris, it makes sense that Tom would do this for his own amusement. Also, the fact that Tom 'accidently' breaks Myrtle's nose when she mentioned Daisy helps us to understand that Tom doesn't actually Myrtle- in fact, it's out of the question.

Wealth was the reason Daisy married Tom, and the reason that Daisy originally did not marry Gatsby, and so Gatsby's goal in life was to become wealthy enough to support Daisy and to win her back from Tom.
In "The Great Gatsby," Daisy Buchanan makes several quotes about money, including "I hope she'll be a foolthat's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool" and "Rich girls don't marry poor boys." These quotes reflect Daisy's belief in the importance of wealth and social status in her world.
Daisy broke her promise to wait for Gatsby and not marry Tom Buchanan. Despite telling Gatsby she would ultimately choose him, Daisy went through with her marriage to Tom, betraying Gatsby's trust and hopes for a future together.

The quote isn't in the book! The quote was added in for the movie, but the quote never appears in the book! "Rich girls don't marry poor boys" was said to Fitzgerald by his first love, Genevere's father.
