Looking back on Wilson's famous quote in Spin

[icesheltie.livejournal.com]

Now that the series is over and looking back, do you think Wilson was referring to House when he told Cameron about that "someone who made me feel funny, good. And I didn't want to let that feeling go"?

Personally I believe it's House as it makes the most sense based on canon facts.

If it's House it means Wilson considered himself cheating on his wives emotionally and/or physically with House. If we take what he said in the context of his whole convo with Cameron and also take into account his expressions then, does it imply that Wilson had been harbouring romantic feelings towards House all along? And therefore when Wilson said to House "I need you to tell me that you love me" he meant romantic love as well?

What are your views?

I second this! :)

It could be an explanation why his marriages with Bonnie and Julie and other relationships failed with the exception of the one with Amber who was some sort of female version of House.
Perhaps Wilson is a closeted gay and deeply afraid of coming out? He cared much about his public appearance and what others thought of him.

"Perhaps Wilson is a closeted gay and deeply afraid of coming out? He cared much about his public appearance and what others thought of him"

What's interesting is how he sometimes didn't seem to care what others thought of him. Eg. swinging with "House" in Son of a Coma Guy and proposing to House in The Down Low.

I think his main problem might have been his own perceptions of how he should live his life - with wife and kids. Instead he fell for this "someone" who contradicted with this perception, and subsequently he had to "live with" this contradiction since he couldn't let go.

I totally think he was talking about House in that scene.

I think both House and Wilson were terrified of the fact they loved each other, because they weren't who they wanted to love. Wilson wanted to love a nice, successful, intelligent woman. House wanted to love an attractive woman. So, I think that they tried to deny that fact, until it came out that Wilson was dying and suddenly their forever together was very short. Hugh Laurie said something about the final arc being when they had to just say what they felt about each other, and what did they say? "I need you, okay, because I don't know what I'm going to do without you," "I don't want to loose this time with you," "I need you to tell me that you love me," etc. They were the loves of each other's lives no matter how much they tried to fight it.

I agree with you about Wilson, but my impression of House was that he had always known and was able to accept the fact that he wanted Wilson the most - it could be seen from his jealousy and possessiveness towards Wilson, and also during his session with Nolan in "Baggage", House mentioned about taking the long view with regards to Wilson, which to me meant that he was able to accept that Wilson would always be his number one choice of partner. Similarly he told Wilson "I will wait" in "Knight Fall". His conspiratorial wink to Thirteen in "Don't Ever Change" also seemed to suggest House's comfort with his implied bisexuality.

My view was that House had always been quite obvious that he wanted to be with Wilson, but as Wilson couldn't accept the fact he loved House, House had to back off to a certain extent. This stalemate was broken in "Holding On" when it was confirmed that Wilson only had 5 months to live, and so Wilson could finally accept it and say "I need you to tell me that you love me".

I always thought Cuddy was really a consolation prize, as House was then alone and vulnerable after being dumped by Wilson, and Cuddy made the first move in "Help Me". House had often treated Cuddy with so much disrespect that I just couldn't convince myself that he loved her at all.
