No worries, the Huddy shippers are crazy. i was reading comments from a recent spoiler (baaaad idea) and there were a bunch of reasonable anti-Huddy posts, and then out of nowhere: "Oh, shut up, you crazy, bitter Hamerons. Huddy 4eva!!" And I was lie, WTF? Nobody mentioned Hameron/Cameron. (And, god, do I hate shipper names.)
What bugs me more than anything is that there could be a discussion following (say, for example, a spoiler) where not only is Cuddy not in it, but there is nothing to even suggest that she even exists and the Huddy shippers will inevitably jump in with "OMG Huddy sex!!". There's nothing more intolerable for me than when a nice, intelligent discussion is totally ruined by a comment that is completely irrelevant and uncalled for. The other thing is that the Huddy shippers are the first to call everyone else bitter. (I'm not saying other shippers are not guilty, but the Huddy shippers are certainly the loudest and most outspoken, IMHO.)
On the one hand, I do think Wilson is dangerous in that he doesn't know when House is in a bad place, where pushing could have serious negative results. On the other hand, House knows exactly HOW to push when he wants to hurt Wilson. I'm not sure that he ever would, but if he wanted to House is entirely capable of hurting Wilson deeply at a bad moment. I think we see this side of House most when he's being mean to Cuddy, which is another reason I can't get behind the pairing.
I absolutely agree. There was never a doubt that House was capable of hurting people. I just watched "Finding Judas" last night and I think it is a good example of how House can intentionally hurt someone if he wants to. House can be hurtful to anyone at anytime. It's one of his character' main traits and it's perfectly balanced by the amount of good he does by saving patients when no one else can.
I've been thinking about what you can owe someone without some sort of implied consent on you part. The only thing I can think of is money. What House thinks he owes Wilson is crap, because he didn't really agree to be in a place to owe them. Does that make sense?
I'm not too sure I understand what you mean here. Remove Wilson from the equation and put in the scenario from "Words and Deeds" where Cuddy lied on the witness stand to keep House from going to jail. How do you see this as an example of what you are trying to say? I'm guessing that in this example what you would be saying is that House doesn't owe Cuddy a thing because he never asked her to perjure herself on his behalf. She holds it over his head for a long time afterwards, but it was her choice to do what she did and she shouldn't use it against House. Is this what you are saying?
And for Wilson, I don't think he WANTS House to owe him, exactly, but I do think Wilson is so tired and run-down that he doesn't have it in him to fix his relationship with House, and having House feel he owes Wilson makes Wilson's life easier. Did that make sense?
This makes sense, yes.
In terms of depression, I got lucky enough to make two incredibly friends who helped me SO much.

Friends can be lifesavers, can't they?
