Well first, it's never good to break up an existing relationship on purpose to try something else. If he's willing to do that to her, he might be just as willing to do that to you if someone else interesting came around. So it's actually a very good thing that he's going to stick by his current girl to try to make it work.

If she's really that bad, then their relationship will fail. A relationship should be about two happy people caring for each other, not about one using the other. So he'll be single again.

Just about every great relationship in the world began with two great friends getting closer together. And just about every one of those had the fear of losing that friendship, since it was so wonderful. But they got through it for the greater reward of the partnership they got *in addition to* their friendship.

I have a how-to here -
