I would have a talk with Chuck and make sure that you guys are on the same page. Then have a no nonsense talk with Dave, telling him something like "Your relationship is none of our business and what goes on between you and your GF is just between you two. But the next time we hear something like that, the door is coming down or the cops are being called."

Don't have to be a dick about it, just point out that is the way it will be.

You're obviously smaller and weaker than Dave and he could kick your ass with one arm.

Skulk away. Its all you can do.

I would not leave them alone together. I would not leave the house. I would yell at your roommate for letting it go on that long. I would ask them what the [censored] was going on and if necessary I would kick the girl out of the house until things calm down. If it ever happened again Dave would move out.

You must be big enough and strong enough to beat down Dave.

Either that, or you're full of sh*t.

Are you actually asking what to do here? You bang on that door until you here the girl say everything is cool or you bust in ready to rumble. There is no other option. Afterwards, you consider kicking Dave out if he's hitting women.

This doesn't work though, because she could be too scared to say anything is wrong and pretend it is okay, you MUST get that door open quickly.

If I hear the sound of hitting or screaming that door is coming door (actually probably quicker to pick the lock if it's a typical interior door.) If I don't hear a calm everything's cool Dave will experience what it's like to eat through a straw. Glad to know you've got my back!

Full disclosure -- I have two daughters and a zero tolerance for anyone who roughs up a lady. I'll happily plead guilty to the assault charges if I am defending someone from real or imminent violence.

I can't imagine any kind of real fighting that would last more than 5 seconds between a guy and a girl... i'd guess that was rough sex you heard, and your knocking on the door just made it awkward for them and they tried to keep it quiet.

That said, if you reall thoguht they were fighting, slamming on the door, with the intentions of taking it down if you dont get a good answer, would probably be best.

lmfao....this is what i was thinking

i would have definitely kicked the door in like i was on the swat team. no fair warning, no nothing.

gives him time to put his hand on her mouth and be like, "say something and i'll kill you"

all hell would have broken loose.

Tell him if he's going to act like that, he can move back into his frat house.

knock on the door, and ask whats going on

you can't just barge in there unannouncecd, Rough sex and fighting i'd guess don't soudn all that different, ,and "Ouch you're on my stomach" doesnt sound exaclty like fighting.

You break down his door and he's plowing her in some wierd position, and you're gonna be the biggest douche in the world.

Well, who knows if I'm bigger than Dave, I've never met the guy. Given my size I am a slight favorite here, but it's probably close. I handle myself pretty well and rarely do people put me to that sort of test. (In my job it's something you have to be ready for on a daily basis).

But that's beside the point. Yes, I would scrap with Dave if he came out swinging when I busted into his room while he was beating up his girlfriend. It's something called principle. Anyway, it's unlikely to be a major issue because there are three other people in the house and Dave will most likely feel ashamed when I start taking a bite out of his ass for his uncivilized behavior. And if he was the kind of guy I was really, truly afraid of, I wouldn't be living with him.

So, anyway, it doesn't matter how big Dave is. The situation is unlikely to come to blows and if it does I have backup. Although it sounds like roomie here is a pushover so maybe we should discount those outs a bit.
