I love House's character of, "I don't like getting personal with patients... yet I will get into their personal lives".

[@timmy-wj2hc]

It is their personal lives that give House the biggest clues. He just doesn't want to be face to face with them. That's why he has the others do it for him. Win-win

[@WouldntULikeToKnow.]

House doesn't share his personal life but has no problems exposing others.

[@coolbreeze5683]

He does it to help him solve the puzzle and to fulfill his ego. He keeps them at a distance. He did the same with Wilson until the last season. Their friendship consisted of House constantly analyzing him, without actually listening to what he was saying. By the end of the series, House let down his walls more.

Well you could also think of it like this: Dude wasn't sure what was happening to her and didn't want to leave her alone until she TOLD him to go get Tom. Lots of bad things can happen in a couple seconds, he might've been worried that something would happen while he was running after Tom.

[@dietotaku]

i find it interesting that house is completely accepting and understanding of open marriages/polyamory, but an asexual couple shows up and he just has to prove that there's a medical reason for their "aberrant choices." even more interesting is that a lot of those open marriages are the result of some degree of asexuality in one of the partners... "i can't match their drive so i give them permission to meet their needs elsewhere, but i don't want to dissolve the marriage because of all the non-sexual reasons we're together."

[@pmarreck]

if it works at all, it would require some incredibly mature and self-secure people. Children want things because they can't have them. Adults can have things but choose not to.

[@nonono732]

yeah one of the many flaws of this show are the varying amount of writers with completely different world views ranging from extreme to mild. houses character can be incredibly progressive or conservative depending on the episode's writer.

[@timmy-wj2hc]

I think it is because people are known to cheat and lie, that's normal. But being asexual is more rare and he thought it could be a medical problem. He did the tests to make sure amd was right.

I loved house, as a Sherlock Holmes book obsessive growing up. however, watching it back now so often his reasoning is deeply superficial - even medically, but especially sociologically/psychologically. what im saying is: the series would have been better if house had been humbled more often.

Taub fantasies

[@zachsname2987]

Definitionally open marriages can't work. The definition of marriage is a vow between one man and one woman to stay loyal and faithful for life. If you break that vow in any way, you have broken the marriage. It's like promising to keep a secret, immediately telling someone, and then saying that you kept your promise AND told people. It definitionally doesn't make sense. You can make up rationalizations and definitions all you like, but it won't make it true. Even if you're not religious, you have to acknowledge that marriage is not some legal paper the government gives you, it's a promise. This is true across all cultures who have used it. While you can break the marriage and still remain legally married, definitionally, you have broken the marriage promise. It's why certain states have at fault divorce laws.

[@hunterwarren2925]

[@anonymoose2474]

@@hunterwarren2925 take your same logic and apply it to a kidnapping victim, or a child, or many other things. Consent isn't the end all be all, coercion exists, and things can be harmful with consent. Drug addicts "consent" to taking fentanyl, yet that's still pretty horrible for them as well

[@youbetternotplaythatnashee898]

[@honestguyintelligent3022]

I love how the guy she basically cheated with was literally a complete Chad. Even the camera angle made him look so much taller than her actual husband. Completely brutal. Open relationships are really just an excuse to cheat with people he/she finds more attractive.

[@pmarreck]

Your evaluation of "more attractive" is completely superficial. A mature person realizes that attraction only to the physical is both shallow and self-defeating. Roman marriages were open. This was back when infatuations were considered an illness. People married for economic, political and compatibility reasons and looked the other way when the playboys and playgirls came along for dalliances. Seems about as stable as it is now, except sounds like more fun...

[@mknote]

It isn't cheating if all parties are aware and consenting to it.

[@honestguyintelligent3022]

@@pmarreck Dude, you're right that attraction purely to looks is immature and superficial, but a fear of commitment is even more immature, and if you support open marriage, then you have a fear of commitment.

[@Eto_370]

So I googled a bit, a barium enema CT will get you 6msv, if it's a xray it's 0.5msv. I have no clue if 2 CTs=12msv tho. I'm guessing borderline dangerous, like house would do.

[@Sniperboy5551]

@Eto_370 It’s not dangerous at all, the US OSHA occupational exposure limits are capped at 50mSv/year. I’d say having a bowel obstruction (or something else) is a lot more dangerous than a series of X-rays and a barium enema. X-rays are a lot more efficient nowadays so they don’t result in higher levels of exposure like the primitive ones did.
