[Star Wars] Why didn't Obi Wan do more about Anakin's infatuation with Padme?

Through Episode 2 Anakin's overwhelming love for Padme is about as subtle as the destruction of Alderaan. Why doesn't Obi Wan properly confront Anakin about this and try to help him. He knows that love leads to emotions Jedi shouldn't feel and it's clear that Anakin isn't strong enough to fight them alone. Is there a reason besides stupidity that Obi Wan lest this fester and grow?

Because he feels love for Anakin, and that clouds his judgment and awareness. Obi Wan thought of Anakin as a brother, confidant, and friend, his closest emotional tie. With the death of Quigon, Obi Wan was more or less left without a guiding figure in his life to warn him of such attachments. Ultimately, Obi Wan's love for Anakin prevented him from seeing the danger his friend was in, and Kenobi probably never forgave himself for that.
