[The question is too incredulous to sound accusatory. Maybe a few years ago this would be a moot point; Leia had her own code of detachment, then, as severe as anything Obi-Wan could suggest. Perhaps she would've liked the excuse. It's not just self-interest that has Han convinced she's better off having admitted to her feelings. Wanting things is part and parcel of living; even Obi-Wan is acknowledging that. Denial is energy wasted.
Besides, attachment is why he's here. It'd look better to claim he's altruistic and focused only on the liberation of the galaxy, but it's not true. He went back for Luke. He stayed for Leia. Attachment is why he'd sacrifice himself for the cause. Bad for business, maybe, but it's not a weakness.]
It doesn't really seem like leaving's much of an option.
