I am 21 and never have been in a serious relationship. Just because it is his first relationship hardly means it will fail. If he was 14 and this was his first serious gf, then yea definitely a problem. But he is in his twenties so I think this relationship is a bit more mature. It always amuses me how people who have had so much 'experience' try to give it advice to those who are new to dating. Honestly, when I see one of my peers who have had several dozen past relationships, I look at them and say "wow, they have messed up relationship they have ever been in." Granted some relationships break up for a good reason, but I think this kind of lifestyle is more of a red flag than anything else. The divorce rates observed today I think are more from excess of baggage than lack of experience. I simply don't see what him breaking up for the sole purpose of returning to the dating game would accomplish. If he does this, what if he figures out that what he used to have was better? It is possible that he never find someone like this again. I find your interest in helping your friend most admirable, but until you can clearly identify that his girlfriend has abusive to him, I would not interfere.
