QMy two roommates are in the same frat. Roommate A and his GF have been going out for about a year. Roommate A is a great guy, but maybe a bit too nice: recently, his GF cheated on him and he forgave her. Her infidelity did not come as a surprise to the rest of us. When she’s drunk, she acts inappropriately. She gets touchy and says suggestive things—it’s way beyond friendly flirting.

AAll you’ve got, FROST, is hearsay—what Roommate B told you about what OG told him about Roommate A’s GF—and hearsay isn’t admissible in court. But this isn’t a trial, it’s a friendship, and sometimes friendship requires us to pass along hearsay and/or credible gossip.
What’s that lovely saying that sometimes drops from the oh-so-fuckable mouths of frat boys? Oh, yes: bros before hos. Usually I find that phrase offensive and misogynistic, FROST, but in this instance it applies.
QFor four years I’ve been dating a gal who is freaking amazing in almost every way. The other ten percent of the time she’s the worst human I’ve ever met: super-violent, super-dishonest. (She tells our friends that I beat her to cover up for her violence toward me!) I’ve tried communicating, but she gets angry if I try to talk about it. I know I can either accept it or break up with her, but I was hoping you’d have a better answer. Any ideas? She’s far superior to most humans I’ve met in every other regard and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. —Sick of Getting Beaten Up
And, finally, he has the nerve to guilt you? He sounds like a manipulative, selfish jerk, GOP—which are the warning signs of a habitual, serial cheater. Are you sure you wanna marry this douche?
