She might the guy that she stays true to, and if she does then your friend will be happy. If she doesn't he will find out for himself, and he will have his friends to lean on.

You can't do anything. All you can do is wait for it to end and then be there for him when it does. People have to make their own mistakes to understand themselves. Let him make his mistake.

I don't think you should be looking for advise on how to break people up, that is a very juvenille thing to do.
Why not try to be adult about this, and let the relationship run it's course. If this girl is as bad as you say she is he will soon find out for himself.

My advice: just let him be. Don't interfere with his relationship no matter how bad you think it is, because it's something he has to figure out for himself. If it turns out bad, it turns out bad and if it turns out good, it turns out good. You can't make decisions for him. And breaking up a couple, no matter your intentions, could backfire and he could find out you did it (or attempt to) and you could lose his friendship over it. It's not worth the drama.
If his flirting bothers you, tell him and remind him you're in a relationship and so is he and that it's inappropriate. And every time your friend comes with you for advice about her crush on him, don't feel you need to give her advice. Again, let her sort it out.
