sometimes she'll apologize and he will too for being how he was, but soon as she's out of site he'll start again about how everything is her fault and that life simply isn't worth living.
I don't like either people but deal with them on quite a regular bases, and to be quite honest, I'm sick of the roundabout drama (I think deep down they both know they arn't right for each other), the girl's even said she's not ready for a relationship.
do I interveene now?. or just let it play out
if it's making him feel this bad, I should really do something
but hmm I don't know. it's not really my place to get in to the middle of their drama

You deal with them on the basis that you have to, I'm assuming for some reason. if you don't even care for them why would you care to even intervene to try to advise on this and does it seem to you like either of them would actually listen? They are adults, I assume and if they don't see the silliness of what they are doing with each other what makes you think you'll open their eyes? Even if they were worth your time and energy! I mean it sounds like a repeated affair to me, and they are playing a game with each other.
If neither of them come to you for advice on this, it's not going to likely be welcome that you come and try to inform them on their behavior.
Aside from all that, you dont' have to be a part of the drama or in the midst of it do you? If he or she starts to complain about how the other is at fault blah blah blah, you can, walk away, tell them you don't want to hear it, aren't involved.
In fact, by advising or "intervening" you will be doing exactly that which you don't want to be - getting involved. not only will you be having to hear about it, you're willingly placing yourself smack dab in the middle of the warzone. I dont' recommend it.
Honestly, minimize your contact and walk away when the drama comes up. respectfully ask not to be involved or shared with about it.
