Why didn’t Anakin stay with Padme on Geonosis?
In Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones Senator Padme Amidala falls out of a clone Low Altitude Assault Transport (LAAT) ship during the Battle of Geonosis. Anakin, of course, wants the ship to land so he can stay with her. Obi-wan then reminds him to “do his duty” and help him kill Count Dooku.
However, Anakin's standing orders and “first priority” from when he and Padme were on Tatooine were to protect the senator at all costs:
Mace: [to Anakin] Anakin, we will deal with Count Dooku; the most important thing for you is to stay where you are. Protect the Senator at all costs. That is your first priority.
Anakin: Understood, Master.
So, why didn’t Anakin argue that when Obi-wan told him to come with him?
Best Answer
Situations and priorities change. Dooku was about to escape, and Obi-Wan and Anakin were the nearest Jedi.
Padme was relatively safe, away from the battle, and had clone troopers nearby. Even if the fall had hurt Padme, Anakin would not have been much help as he wasn't a healer.

Why couldnt Anakin and Padme be together?
The marriage, witnessed by the droids C-3PO and R2-D2, was kept secret due to Amidala's place as a prominent Senator in the Galactic Republic and because of Skywalker's membership in the Jedi Order; the Jedi Code prevented Jedi from falling in love and forming attachments such as marriage.Why was Padme on Geonosis?

Answer 2
If you remember from the beginning, mace windu said we are keepers of the peace not security. This was in response to palpatine asking for protection for padme. Reluctantly the council sent Anakin and obi wan.
Also.. remember padme was being hunted in the first place so she couldn't vote on the military expansion by palpatine. So...
At the end when she falls:
- She is no longer a target as she is not actively being hunted for in the middle of a war.
- There are now military soldiers to defend her, so two Jedi are not needed, which now goes along with Mace Windy's statement in the beginning.
- Unbeknownst to Anakin but Palpstine had no reason to kill her since the military got created. I'm not sure if Anakin and Obi wan knew why she was being hunted to begin with, but this makes her not important. Her being hunted was also to lead Obi wan to the kamino sure to discover the clones.
- Darth Tyranus (Dooku) was leading the war. His death would've prevented all those clone wars battles seen in Canon. His death was a much higher priority than Padme as thousands of lives could potentially be lost compared to one senator.
5.Padme survived being in an arena with beasts by herself (at least the one attacking her) and defended herself against a few hundred droids along with the Jedi. At this point maybe Obi wan saw that she could take care of herself.
- Also Anakin was originally supposed to stay in tattoine. Because he didn't, the plans changed a bit when thrusted into a war
