On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

How do you overcome your abusive father's harassment and protect yourself from his unhinged, unwelcome intrusions in the future?
Should you endure the discomfort of working alongside a sleazy colleague who sleeps with every woman he can, or actively seek new employment despite being a few months away from your degree?
Should you step down as best man for kicking a disrespectful jerk of a guest out of your friend's bachelor party?
You assumed you and your significant other of six years would eventually marry, but since neither of you wants kids, you've been told there's no point in "getting the government involved" in your lives. Is it time for you to cut your losses and search for someone who is willing to make a real commitment?
If your feathers have been ruffled by something we've said on this show, is it possibly a sign they were in need of being ruffled?
