Why did Tom and Daisy stay together?

Tom and Daisy stay together most likely out of convenience. Both characters come from families of wealth, and this affords them a very leisurely lifestyle. By Nick Carraway's account, both are very "careless" people, both in the way that they spend their time and in the way that they treat other people.

Why do you think Daisy doesn't leave Tom?

Daisy doesn't leave Tom because the two of them are well suited for one another - they are alike. One of the clearest examples of this similarity is in Chapter 7, after Daisy and Tom are back at their house after the disastrous day in the city.
