Friend in a bad relationship and wedding gift question

First, two friends that have been dating for 2 years and fight ALL the time. She continues to come to us for advice when they "take breaks" and then she always goes back to him... We've stopped telling her (about 1.5 years ago) our true feelings about their relationship (we like them each individually a lot) because she always goes back...well now it's getting ridiculous...

So, question is: Would you tell her your true feelings about their relationship? (we run in the same circles, she is my friend, he is BF's friend)
Ugh. No win situation for you. If you sit by quietly while she bitches, you are not being supportive. If you tell her how you feel, she will move away from you a little further each time she gets back together with him. Been there recently. No longer friends. Maybe someday we'll hook back up. I tried a hybrid approach - let her know once clearly what your true feelings are, then stand by and see what happens. the problem is that at some point the drama makes the friendship just sorta not worth the effort.
