House, like, egged him on or got him drunk. Ex-wives: again, I wish I could remember specifics, but last season Wilson accused House of breaking up his most recent marriage. And about Amber, House is the one who called her to come pick him up from the bar. She wouldn't even have been in the bus when it crashed if he hadn't done that, and his trying to save her was his desperate attempt at fixing the dire consequences of his actions. Not that Wilson isn't ultimately responsible for misbehaving and getting himself in jail, or for messing around and getting himself divorced. And House didn't cause the bus crash (and, yes, I remember that there was some bad medicine reaction that poisoned Amber and was the ultimate cause of her death). But House's hand has been in every instance, stirring things up and making things worse. House has a mammoth ego, is incredibly selfish, and cruelly blunt. I suspect Wilson stays with House for the same reason we, the viewers, do: he's charming. We love his obnoxious behavior. However, I totally agree about Amber telling House to tell Wilson what he means to him. That was really touching. I forget, did he say anything to Wilson? |
I don't see how House was responsible for any of that! House had no hand in the New Orleans arrest----he just watched from across the room as Wilson he got drunk, angry and then broke a window and was arrested. They never even spoke until House bailed him out, iirc. Wilson has a bit of a temper. And his wandering eye & flawed romances are also his own responsibilty, not House's. House was only part of all those instances because they are friends. Wilson loves to blame House and Wilson gets to carry the "good guy" rep but in reality, they are both magnificently egotistical and selfish. Wilson just hides it better----which actually makes him less honest.
If anything, I can see that Wilson's need to have House need him (and his track record of dropping romantic partners when they stop needing him) pushing House to remain needy. Which is totally twisted, and House's own responsiblity as well. But, well, it's there. And they touched on in the finale---when House reassured Wilson that being healthy & in a relationship w/ Cuddy would not destroy their friendship. Wilson brushed it off, but I do think that is a valid concern for House. Their friendship has survived Wilson's relationships, but mainly because, as Cuddy once commented "You'll never lose your friend, House. You're the long-distance runner of neediness." (One of my fav quotes, although I did have to look ti up---season 4)
I love them both but they are both very very flawed men. And both have had moments of being really, really awful to the other---both on purpose and accidently (ie, because they didn't think through the consequences of their actions).
