The way I see it is, Rose had been plotting and scheming to be with Charlie ever since she was on the show. If Charlie had behaved in real life, they never would have killed him off. Eventually, he would have found out or figured out that Rose was tricking him. They would have broken up and things would have gone back to normal.
Or less likely, Charlie would have settled for Rose because he would rather be with someone who loved him no matter what. Than go out with a normal woman who couldn't settle for his character flaws.
The basic premise of the show was, Charlie was a hedonist who thought with his little head as opposed to his big head. All those things that we see as not making sense is yes, they don't make sense. Unless we realize Charlie wasn't doing those things because he had thought them through. He wasn't thinking. He was just doing what he wanted without thinking about the consequences. Because that was what he had always done. And until Alan moved in, that had always worked for him.
