Dear Abby: I’m not sure I want to meet pal’s flavor-of-the-month bride

DEAR ABBY: I’m engaged to a wonderful man. We are incredibly happy, and I cannot wait for our life together to begin. There’s just one problem -- his best friend, “Joey.” Joey is wonderful to my fiance and a nice person overall, but he’s a serial cheater.

In the five years I’ve known him, Joey has dated and cheated on multiple women, some of whom I befriended before recognizing the pattern. It’s always the same -- Joey meets a woman, quickly gets into something deep and monogamous, and then, after six months, he starts sleeping with other people.
