Helping a friend

Hi all, not really sure what I'm looking for here. Just some advice I guess about what you would do.
One of my best friends has been in a relationship for 7 months now and it's clear that they have a lot a lot of love for each other. Her partner suffers from bpd though and has abandonment issues.
Basically the last month has been hell for her, her partner won't really allow her to see her friends and has a meltdown about the littlest thing that makes her insecure.
Ive suggested my friend take some time away and stay with me or her mum or something. But would this doom the relationship if she takes a break? Or is a break necessary? As I said, it's such a sad situation because they clearly love each other a lot, her partner (girlfriend) is just clearly just very unhappy internally. What would you all suggest?

Run for the hills they don't get any better and it consumes so much of your life, she will never have a normal relationship with him. X

Yeah that's what I strongly believe but she just doesn't see it :( I've tried being gentle and holding her hand but honestly maybe I just need to tell her how it is
