Being that you are a goddess, such a high and mighty being, to have caught feelings for this lowly fisherman feels like a step down or perhaps wasting your potential compared with your own past history. A great conquering warlord who changed the mortal world with you by his side, it my be that there is no adequate match between a mortal and a god but a man like that was closer to divinity than a humble laborer.
Of course you can't help who you love, and ideally would do as you please. But this time is different because of your adopted leadership role. Besides what any mortals think, you yourself are wise enough to consider beforehand the limitation of what someone like Leon brings to the table versus some other partner(s). Considering that, he isn't especially notable anyway otherwise you would have discovered him in Eindward before.
Again, not that you are forced to act one way or the other, just something to think about. If in this case, now as a leader with responsibilities, love is more important than political or resource benefit. Since as you've come to understand, in some ways marriage for these modern-cultured humans can be more an economic or alliance contract than anything.

All this consideration and deliberation is over the role of a spouse or consort, publicly known and important position, but nothing says it has to be. It's nobody's business what you get up to in secret, and less a position for them to take a stand on. Although this does fall into the same problem as above, the lack of benefit gained from the supreme resource of your hand in marriage, but it also avoids any troubles from mortals.
