For a number of reasons.
Jacob's mother Rivka made it clear that he wasn't to stay with Lavan forever (Genesis 27:45).
Jacob desired to return to his parents (ibid. 31:30). His beliefs and those of Lavan were not identical (see Genesis 31:53).
God told him to return to Canaan (Genesis 31:3).
Jacob knew that Lavan was liable to try to cheat him out of everything (Genesis 31:31 and 31:42), a fact which Lavan admitted (Genesis 31:43).
Jacob did not want his children to continue growing up in the environs of the idolatrous Lavan.
Jacob could not marry any of the mortals in the land, but was told to marry a cousin. All the patriarchs were portrayed as descended on both sides from the one ancestor, Terah, which either suggests Egyptian influence or a mythical origin to the story.
In the book of Genesis chapter 31 , Jacob is forced to flee as the sons of Laban felt that Jacob had taken their father Labans property . and laban was not in good terms with Jacob like he was before,. Then god told Jacob to return to the land of your ancestors and god would look after him.

Laban tricked Jacob into marrying Leah by giving her to Jacob instead of Rachel on their wedding night, as Jacob had intended. Laban did this by having Leah wear a veil and keeping her identity hidden until the morning, when it was revealed to Jacob that he had married Leah instead of Rachel.
Leah and Rachel were Laban's daughters. They both married Jacob.
Laban
Rachel married Jacob, she was Laban's daughter.
Laban changed Jacob's wages multiple times while working for him - specifically, he changed Jacob's wages 10 times as mentioned in Genesis 31:7.
The man who deceived Jacob was Laban, his father-in-law. Laban tricked Jacob into marrying Leah instead of Rachel, whom Jacob loved. This deception led to Jacob having to work an additional seven years in order to marry Rachel.
According to Genesis 27 and after, Jacob's father-in-law was Laban, who was also Jacob's uncle (his mother Rebekah's brother). I know your talking about the bible, but in Twilight Jacob's father-in-law will probably be Edward. LOL
Jacob's uncle was Laban. Laban tricked Jacob by giving him his older daughter Leah to marry instead of Rachel, whom Jacob loved. Jacob had to work an additional seven years to marry Rachel as well.
There are a few Jacob's in The Bible, but probably the most well know is Jacob the son of Isaac. Jacob married Leah and her sister Rachel, who's father was Laban. Laban was not only the father in law of Jacob but he was also a brother to Rebekah, Jacob's mother.
Laban was the uncle of Jacob who was renamed Israel
