What do i do?

First of all, any who read this please read it in the manner in which it was written. I am not judging anybody and i am not claiming perfection myself. I am only a concerned friend...
I have a problem. Somebody please jump in any time to tell me this is not a problem and i will be ecstatic, because i do not want to deal with this problem. But, i see it as a problem and feel i need to.
A good friend of mine (the mother of my Godchild) is dating a buddhist named X. Nothing wrong with buddhists, but X is a jerk (in general). He is dragging her away from God, is a lousy stepdad (they've been together about a year or two or three, not sure), and is starting the whole controlling bit.
He is from Sri Lanka and his family is kind of...grrr...Not sure how to put it. Suffice to say they do not know about the child. ANYWAY, a Christian friend of mine says i need to tell her i will not talk to her anymore unless she breaks up with him (she has tried, unsuccessfully, thrice). I'm not so sure it will work (that and she is my wife's friend and my wife would never go for that).
Either way, X needs to either step it up (ie stop being a jerk), or she needs to leave him. She knows this but is afraid to be alone (the child's dad is a loser, big time). What do i do? Or am i wrong and should i just mind my own business (if i am wrong about it being a problem, i will be happy since i am a kind of 'mind my own business' type)
And please, some scripture as to why would be very, very nice.
