Hilson vs Hameron vs Huddy

Okay, so here’s a quick deconstruction on why Hilson> Hameron/Huddy . 

Cameron was in love this House’s flaws. She loved his limp, his addiction, his abrasive personality, and his emotional damage. Cameron has a thing for damaged people, she was attached to the obese man and the agoraphobic man and married a man she knew was dying.  She loves House just for his faults. House himself highlights this twice

House: You live under the delusion that you can fix everything that isn’t perfect. That’s why you married a man who was dying of cancer. You don’t love, you need. And now that your husband is dead, you’re looking for your new charity case. That’s why you’re going out with me. I’m twice your age, I’m not great looking, I’m not charming, I’m not even nice. What I am is what you need. I’m damaged. [He picks up his menu, leaving Cameron to think.]

Also, when his leg is temporarily healed Cameron all but completely loses interest in him.  House asks her out and smirks when she’s suddenly much less interested in him. 

Cameron: You’re...smiling...

House: I just think its funny how full of crap you are. When I was in pain you were all over me. You only wanted me when I was a sick little puppy that you could nurse back to health. Now that I’m healthy, you have no interest in me. 

Cuddy was the opposite. She was in love with House’s talent, his genius, his passion, and his job. She loved what he did , not who he was. This is evidenced by , before the actual relationship, Cuddy only ever shows attraction to House when he has a “ House moment”. She says he’s “ the most amazing man she’s even known” because she only loves the amazing things about him.  There are too many instances to count when she can’t tolerate his abrasives/his addiction/ how unpredictable he is. 

It’s shown that her attraction quickly wears thin once House actually starts behaving like himself, and she breaks up with him after just one slight ( using Vicoden to tolerate seeing her after her surgery when she thought she had kidney cancer) . Cuddy only loved an idealized version of House.

Now Wilson is different. He loves both the good and bad that House has. He loves his brilliance, passion, looks, any other stereotypical good trait about him, and is also in love with most of his dysfunctions  ( and tolerates the remaining ones).

House’s addiction

Friendly reminder that House had drug abuse issues before his leg . If you watch “ Three stories” You’ll realize that the patients who was claiming leg pain, and self-injected demerol, was House. The docs wrote him off as johnsing for drugs, twice. That’s because House abused drugs before  Vicoden, and before his leg. 

It’s actually part of the reason for the time delay in making the diagnosis- not to say that it was his fault. That’s why I think House’s Vicodin abuse is mostly, I’d say three-fourths, psychological. It’s funny, because when I first started watching House I’d have said that it was at least half physical, and was surprised when House’s friends ( Cuddy, Wilson) urged him to stop using Vicoden, because I thought “ Well, isn’t House in pain?”. Now I’ve realized.  Most of the Vicoden use is for psychological pain. House seems fine, in S6, when he’s on those  massive doses of Ibuprofen for his leg, and we don’t see him start drinking until his personal life becomes an issue ( Like when House realizes that Cuddy wants to be friends with him and is getting serious with Lucas). The alcohol became the way to dull the emotional pain, and when Huddy was a thing, Cuddy was the replacement for the Vicoden.  And he didn’t start using it a again until he was scared Cuddy may die. 

Actually, House’s leg situation was the worst case scenario of the worst case scenario of the worse case scenario. The worst thing that can happen to an aneurysm is that it clots.The worst thing that can happen after a clot is to tell the patient there isn’t really a problem, refuse to even MRI the damn thing ( this really pisses me off) , and waste time. The worst thing that can happen after wasting all that precious time and leading to tissue death is to not get rid of the affected area ( the last of which was in House’s control, to some degree).   “ My name is Gregory House, and my life is complete and utter shit”

This sort of fulfills @sweetmemory221  ‘s request to give my thoughts- I was on vacation then and didn’t wanna mobile-blog so I’m answering now!
