In Ep. III, what did Anakin mean when he screamed "You were with him!", at Padme?

In the screenplay there is a scene where Palpatine manipulates Anakin into believing that Padme is falling in love with Obi-Wan... or vice versa... I forget.

IF you go by the movie it's option number two, if you go by the book, it's both. I prefer to go by the book myself as it was by far better than the movie. ✅

You cahn't be serious jp, can you?

Firstly if Anakin was so ticked off at Padme for a litany of things, don't you think having an affair with Obi-Wan might be something he might mention to her? You know, as he's strangling her? Kinda part of the whole marriage vow thing.

During a fight, what scorned spouse doesn't nag nag nag with a host of issues, such as "You brought him here to kill me! You're having an affair! And you hog all the covers!"

Because Anakin didn't mention the possible affair on the Mustafar landing platform, either in the book or movie, you've got to conclude it wasn't a motivating factor. In the book, the closest Anakin gets to even hinting about this possible affair was this line: "Palpatine was right. Sometimes it is the closest to you who cannot see. I loved you too much Padme." But the line is just to innocuous. Bringing Obi-Wan to kill him was the factor.

Secondly, I think the novelization, (I've always hated that word), stinks. It had none of the emotional gravitas of the film. Sure you learn a little more about things, as you should, but where's the heart? Even the Junior novel had more soul.

Thought they were ridin'.

I don't think Anakin really thought (<-- see, it's thought instead of though) much about it, it was more like screaming something retarded like "OMGWTFBBQ LOLZ" wich people on the internet always do when they feel this weird urge to saying something!!!!11!
He just had a tourette moment and screamed "WOWZERS YOU WERE WITH HIM!!!" without immediately brainstorming about possible scenerios of what those two talked about. Ah, what the hell, who cares?!!!

If your going by the books, it would seem he was hinting at an affair. In one of my books set during Episode I, there is a rather intimate scene between Padme and Obi when Obi-Wan comes to inform her of Qui-Gon's death:

"I will always value his kindness in coming to see me. . ." -Episode I Journals

And there is clearly jealousy on Anakin's side depicted in the Episode III novelization:

"Here. Obi-Wan had sat here.
Anakin rounded the couch and settled into that same spot. His hand fell naturally to the seat beside him. . .and there he felt an echo of Padme.
The dragon whispered That's a little close for casual conversation."-Episode III novelization

and

"I'm not the one doing the acting. I'm not the one doing the pretending! I'm not the one sneaking in her in the morning!"-Anakin/Episode III novelization

But for those who just go by the movies. The hints are only subtle, if barely there at all. It could have meant anything.

Did he think she was cheating on him or was he just mad that she was with him in order to stop him.

Yeah, why not, that sounds much more logical than all those retarded over-analytics..

vampire Maybe their love was not as strong as was they believed.

I simply took "You were with him!" as "You are/were on his side!"

Although i go by the events of the movie, that would of been a great twist if Obi-Wan was seeing Padme behind Anakin's back, although it's completley out of character for both of them.

vampire Wouldn't anakin sense something was going on between obi wan and padme if their was.

Anakin though that Padme brought Obi Wan to kill him

anakin was just confuse and angry. thats why he thinks padme was cheatin on him.

Lucas himself says something like "Anakin wasn't talking about Padme being with Obi-Wan in a love affair he only meant clearly he was on one side of a battle and they were both against him."

What do think happened when Anakin, went to Ilum to collect some saber crystals?

Well there was always Anakin's "You Will Not Take Her From Me!" line he shouted at Obi Wan just moments later..A seeming indication if you ask me.

👿 He's got no one to blame but himself when he lost padme.

i think it would have been fun e if luke and leia ended up bein obi wans instead of anakins
