well even if this is the whole truth it would be a testament to his character that his girlfriend would cheat on him and then lie to the police just so he gets in trouble

Some people have bad radars about how dangerous the people they get in bed with are.

Some people self-sabotage by getting with toxic partners in the same pattern over and over again because they have unaddressed psychological issues.

It's usually people who were victims of past abuse, too.

Especially past childhood abuse.

C'mon, he probably is leaving important details out, but "if people treat him badly, he must deserve it" is hardly fair.

In the hypothetical scenario that this is the whole truth, what you're doing is victim blaming.

I didn't intend to do that at all. The proverb I had in mind was "birds of a feather flock together". It doesn't mean he deserved it but I do think people who date people who would do this to them are probably not much better either. Also he wrote this on 4chan which is again, not a complete footprint of his personality but certainly a testament to his character.
