HELP...

 You are a really good friend to this girl.
I think you should just sit down and tell her what happened. Say that it is up to her whether she believes you or not but you think she would be a fool not to. Say that if you were in her position you would want to know. If she still doesnt believe you after this maybe you should still stick by her as it sounds she is going through a tough time right now. She will dump her boyfriend for something else down the line anyway and she will then realsie what he is like for herself.

That said, now you've just become part of all her problems... she's probably jealous of you even if she doesn't want to be. If she asks you for advice on whether to stay or leave with her boyfriend, you can give your opinion, but until then you're best off just nodding your head and asking questions about how she feels about things when she needs to talk.
When she does get rid of her boyfriend (whether tomorrow or after 5 miserable years) she'll be glad that you were truthful and open.

 Put yourself in her shoes. If you were she, wouldn't you want to know your feelings?
Point out to her that you don't want to cause her any heartache or trouble but in view of the friendship the both of you have you felt she would want to know the situation.
Tell her also that you don't want anything to come between you so you want to get everything out in the open with her.
Whatever happens, though, do not shut down communications with her. That would be a bad mistake toward your friendship with her.
I hope this helps. Doc
