The only reason Vegeta seemed to want the immortality was to defeat Freeza. After that he didn't ever showed desire to gather the Dragon Balls again. Or even to dominate/destroy Earth/Universe. Vegeta goals seemed to simply become the strongest guy ever. For that, it don't matter much where he is. Also, in Earth he can train under a gravity over x100, thanks Dr.Briefs. And, as mentioned, he had a pretty girlfriend. Even if he didn't care for her at that point, it is still something he has on Earth has that he wouldn't elsewhere.

To put simple, Vegeta stayed on Earth 'cause he haven't any place better to go.

I like to think that Vegeta's obsession with surpassing Goku twisted into him deciding he would be a better protector of Earth than Goku was. Since the Dragonball universe is constructed to shit on Vegeta, however, his first attempt to protect anybody led to his death, the deaths of the Z fighters, and the world descending into hell for a couple decades.
I think it was still his aim to become a Super Saiyan and surpass the level of strength that Goku had achieved. And anyway, what else could he do? Freeza and King Cold were dead, thus so would the planet trade organization. Vegeta didn't even work for Freeza anymore. I doubt he wanted to gather the Dragon Balls and become immortal, since I think his ego wouldn't let him cheat his way to becoming stronger than Goku.

...Or he stayed to fuck Bulma.
How does attaining immortality make you stronger anyway?
Other than that I agree.
Oops, sorry. Forget the immortality bit, then. But still, I don't think he'd want immortality anymore because he thought becoming a Super Saiyan and surpassing Goku was more important.

Fixed. I actually said that as a joke answer. I don't think Vegeta loved Bulma until those 7 years where he gradually became more comforable with life on Earth. He didn't move to save her when #20 attacked her. I can barely wrap my head around how those two had sex and concieved Trunks in the first place.

"Girlfriend" is not the best word. I pointed out he probably didn't care about her at that point of the story, but, still, it is something he has on Earth he doesn't elsewhere. He doesn't seem to hate Bulma at any point.

For how the two conceived Trunks. Bulma thinks Vegeta is hot. Vegeta think Bulma is hot. They lived in the same place (at last for a while). It seem pretty obvious to me.

I guess what I'm finding hard is the series of events that led up to it. But, I guess, that's normally the case with any unusual relationship, even in real-life. I find it hard to imagine how Gohan was concieved, but with that, I can just imagine Abridged's explanation of it. As Rocketman put it, Bulma was horny, Vegeta was horny, they fucked. And that's probably obvious by the fact that it was a one-off, since Vegeta didn't move to save her and Trunks from #20's attack and Bulma still thinks Vegeta's a jerk.
