In my opinion, I would need more of a back story.
I'm friends with a person who is like (A), demands attention from his/her love, manipulative and a hypocrite. This person however only acts like this with his/her love, not with his/her friends. Completely different with his/her friends.

I would only really encourage (B) to leave (A) if it got physical. Not to be a jerk or anything but it's none of my business if (B) dates (A). I didn't appreciate it when people encouraged me to break up with my ex because they didn't like him. It wasn't something I wanted to hear, so I wasn't about to do that to them. I have suggested to my friend before, "You know, so-and-so doesn't treat you right." but I stopped because if I don't like it why would my friend?

Actually, one of my friends was dating a girl who treated her like crap and was a cheater. I merely told her I felt she wasn't a good person, I was being honest in how I felt. But I didn't tell my friend, "Dump her, she's garbage and you don't deserve that." because if she wants to date her, that's her choice.

I know people will disagree with me but I would only really get involved if it got physical.

I have encouraged others to look for better because I have been encouraged to look too. I would only encourage it if my friend was ready to date again and if s/he is single, not still in the relationship.
