By the way, selfishness and, how to put it correctly... um... madness, or something like that, well, in general, about the Sith, or rather about their egoism and desire for omnipotence:
In this very Episode III, remember what Anakin said to Padme when he met her:
Together, we will rule the galaxy!!!
And in general, Obi-Wan should have finished off Anakin, even though it's not very Jedi-like.
And in general, Anakin is some kind of... well, I don't know, I don't remember the type, well, in order to save his beloved, what did he do:
He killed a lot of people, including younglings, switched to the Dark Side, I personally doubt that Padme would have wanted him to do such a thing for her.
In general, you need to listen to the advice of the Jedi :D.
