[spoilers] Harry and Ruth

[Tea Lady]

You made some good points there Nia M in your previous post. I think Ruth did love George and yes I believe it probably started as a friendship. Then again that was how she and Harry started really. I never really thought about Ruth feeling guilty about George's death but I guess yes when you think about it, her lies indirectly led to George's death. Ruth was blaming it all on Harry but that was probably her deflecting the guilt away from herself. Harry took all that guilt upon himself though because he still loved Ruth. He would bear that guilt for her if it made Ruth's life easier for her. Ruth did not love George as much as Harry or the same way. You can be in love with different people at varying depths at the same time. Sometimes you just dont end up with the one that you want or feel that you should be with. Ruth would have chosen Harry over George I am sure of it. He was her one true love and the one she always wanted. She was kind of forced into loving George.

After reading some fanfic the other day, it made me think of whether Harry actually did try and find Ruth when she left England. I could imagine him doing so and perhaps failing or leaving her be, once he found she was happy and settled. I guess I still find it hard to believe that he let her walk out of his life and he never went back for her. Maybe he did, maybe that will out in future series.
