Yes, but she doesn't correct Harry when he asks/says "You got married out there?" Ruth doesn't say no, she just starts talking about George. She let him believe she was married, for a short time anyway. Was she trying to make him suffer a little more at that point, if the guy wasn't already suffering enough? Was she embarrassed that she wasn't married to George? That she was still showing signs of being a commitment phobe.

Nitrus' point is interesting although it didn't seem to stir Ruth into action when Juliet appeared back on the scene. An ex appearing would surely be enough to get you to make a move? Anyway, if Harry was to get together with anyone it would probably be a one night stand, which Ruth would not find out about. I couldn't see Harry hurting Ruth by having an overt relationship, which is thrust in her face. Ruth did save Harry from going to prison for 20 years. You are kind of in debt forever IMO.
