When Edgar said "I am not your husband" I think that he means he never really felt that he was her husband. Edgar knew she was in love with Heathcliff and never with him. Edgar had been with both Heathcliff and Catherine since they were younger and had seen how much they were in love. He knew that he could marry Catherine but her heart would always belong to Heathcliff.
Is Catherine and Heathcliff's love the greatest love story?
--I don't think that Catherine and Heathcliff have the greatest love story. The only way they could be together was in death and that is not exactly a "happy" ending. He tortures her family to get revenge on those who have hurt him and in the process, hurts her- how is that love? I believe that while Catherine believes that she and Heathcliff are soul mates, she doesn't understand the concept. They grew up together are the best of friends- he was he only one who would tell her the truth no matter what and so she believes that he is her soul mate. I don't think that equates soul mate material. A soul mate is someone who loves you despite your faults and gets along with your family- both Heathcliff are not.
