Ditto the advice about not getting pulled into this thing. I have a rule about not listening in an engaged way when woman wants to complain about her man. Some never stop complaining but don't really want to change and they end up using up friends being self absorbed. Jeez, I recently heard from an old school friend I haven't talked to in over 30 year (gotta love Facebook), and her first comments were she was still married to ___, like it was a great thing and all I could think of was all the times she would call me hysterical because he hit her, drove by their house with his girlfriend in the car, spent all their money on partying etc etc etc etc.
As far as your friend, he IS a typical jerk and dumb at that, if she goes back, she deserves what she gets. Don't be the one whose time and emotional energy she sucks up with all the drama. Some people just like drama and a willing ear, and are usually never around when the people they dumped on endlessly need a friend. (bitter, I know)
