It evolves into one of the most story rich tapestries I've ever seen.
Some of the finest writing and acting in any show. Ever. 'House's head' and 'Wilson's heart' may be the best 2 hours of TV there has ever been
I feel one of the loneliest feelings in the world for a man is having to 'apply' for intimacy with his own wife.
When he has to initiate 100% of the time, he doesn't feel like a partner, he feels like a pest. He stops asking not because he doesn't want you, but because the constant, subtle rejection hurts his dignity and pride. He would rather go without it than feel like he is begging for basic affection."
How your partner reacts to your sadness and the things that bother you will tell you everything you need to know about how long the relationship should last. If they get irritated when you’re hurting, change the subject, or act like your feelings are an inconvenience, pay attention. Real love makes space for emotions. It listens, it cares, and it tries to understand instead of rushing you to “be fine.” The right person won’t downplay what you’re feeling or make you feel small for needing comfort. They may not always have the perfect words, but they’ll show up with patience, reassurance, and a desire to bring you peace. If you’re always having to beg to be heard, beg to be supported, or explain why you deserve basic kindness, that’s a sign. A relationship should feel safe, not heavy.
