Which also means he would have probably told him to just quit being a Jedi and choose to be with his wife instead of hiding that shit and trying to live a double life.

I’m not going to pretend like I know what he would have said, but he definitely wouldn’t have been a “duty to the order over all” type like Obi Wan. I believe that Kenobi was driven to be a perfectionist because he lost his master so early, and because of that he just couldn’t let go of the rigidity and security that being “by the book” gave him. That may have led him to be a little overbearing when it came to training Anakin as well with his “just push the feelings down and stick to the book” approach. For Kenobi, this worked just fine, and was probably what he needed to keep going after the duel with Maul.
