I think Owen may have thought that Anakin should have stayed with him and Anakin's step-father and help them out with the moisture farm, after all Cliegg was married to Anakin's mother making Anakin a part of the Lars family and Cliegg even lost his leg looking for Shimi after the Sand People kidnapped her, Anakin could have been a big help for Cliegg and Owen on the farm.

i had referenceded this in my first response. but you know, i think its a load of crap, "i can't go out again, 'til i heal!" BS!!! he says he really loved her! just go, i'm srry but he seems like a cowards to me.
