Yep. But if Michael was indeed referring to Jodie as his fiancee, it would show how far from being "married" to Terri he was. But maybe he and Terri had that discussion as well...maybe she said that she wouldn't want to live...and if in an incapacited state she would think it would be a great idea for Michael to have a chick on the side and a few "bastards" just for fun.
Who are we to say? It very well could have gone down just as you imagine. Heck, I bet it DID. Err on the side of death.
