You've said your piece so now there is very little that you can do. CUZ has to see the light for himself. Or at the very least he has to believe that he is the one in control.

Perhaps play it cool and always keep a smile ready rather than a disapproving head shake and eyes to the sky, whenever the shit hits the fan. When he feels the strain of what sounds like the relationship from hell, give him a knowing (not smug) smile, a nod of the head and a few choice words of reassurance.

When he's at her beck and call make sure that you and your friends are heading for a big night out on the town. Let him know what he is missing. Then for the next few days, or even weeks talk to him about what a great time you had and all the crazy shit that you got up to. Never make nasty or snide comments about his g/f if you have the opportunity, as that could just push him further towards her. But try to show him subtly that there is life after the Succubus.

Focus on the positives in your lifestyle rather than the negatives in his. If he talks about the Succubus don't get overly passionate about it. Just say 'well you know that I don't like her, but it's your life and your choice.'

Maybe even try and be supportive while actually planting seeds of doubt in his mind. 'Maybe you two will work things out, I mean just because she cheated on you doesn't mean that you aren't made for each other.' Be careful with things like that though, you have to be really sincere with what you are saying so as not to arouse suspicion.

Just ideas you might like to try. It would work best if you and your roommates made these slight adjustments to your practises. Sounds like a nasty situation, good luck with it!
