I think she's always been rather envious of Ruth for having a stable and (apparently) strong marriage and finds it very unsettling to see it possibly break up

You're probably right. I wonder also whether Ruth and David's troubles are making her look back at her own relationships - especially with Richard - and wonder what would hae happened had they not failed at that state.

But Ruth was certainly simply wanting her to say "follow your heart" - and from her hesitency in telling her, possibly suspecting even beforehand that she wasn't going to.
