I have a very difficult moral problem

There is a girl, that I work with, that has become quite a good friend and has helped me get through some of the difficult times I have experienced lately.

She has a boyfriend that she has been seeing for 3 years and recently moved in with. He is quite a bit older than she is and has a child from a previous marriage. She has told me numerous times that she is with him a little for love and a little just to be with someone.

Well today she told me that she 'likes' another guy in the department and is 'asking' around if he has a girlfriend. This is more than idle interest, as she has said that if he is single then she would like to go out with him. I reminded her that she had a bf, and that she should not be out 'shopping' around while she is with him. She replied by saying, well if the other guy has a gf then there is no problem, she will not approach him.

I tried to tell her that that is not the point, what would she do if he is single? I tried to tell her that if she is just with her current bf until another 'better' guy comes around then she should just leave her bf now and then 'look' for a better guy. She has said she has no problem with 'looking' for another guy while with her current bf!

My problem is this: Should I tell her current bf (whom I have met a couple of times, and think is a pretty good guy), if she starts seeing someone else even if it will most certainly cost me my freindship with her?
I feel like deep down I should tell him b/c he does not deserve to be hurt, but on the other hand should I just keep out of it, as it is not really my business?
And do I really want to be friends with someone that would do this to another person?
