I don't think Ruth herself ever referred to George as her husband. She does ask Mani what he did with 'her family', but it is only Harry who talks about her being married, and then later about George being her husband when they're walking on the bridge.

It's interesting, and I for one find it difficult to believe that Ruth had been with George for longer than a year or so. Knowing what we know of her, I can't see her jumping into the first opportunity for a relationship that comes along. Time-wise, she was gone for about two-and-a-half years, and I can easily see her taking about a year to get over Harry and decide to move on.
