Yes, I absolutely agree, that's what I meant, too. I didn't want to imply that I don't believe he loves her, it was just the "in front of strangers" thing that bugged me a lot, especially with the principal.

Hee, I keep reading that Cuddy broke up with him! I didn't understand it that way at all! She wanted time and after he completely disrespected that, she blew up and "couldn't deal with [him] anymore", but I never took that as her seriously breaking up with him. Plus, it's House talking, his fears might be exaggerating a lot there.
