Ok, one of my old primary school friends has a boyfriend, then his dad met her mum and they got along. Then my friend catches her mum in bed with her bf's dad, and it was a bit of a shock. Now her mum is telling her to break up with her bf, because her mum wants to date his dad. It just doesn't seem fair to her, because they were together first and they were together for over a year. and they are perfect for eachother. Any advice for her?

I agree with your friend, this doesn't sound fair. I hate to say it but parents sometimes think their feelings are more important or more valid than the feelings of their children. In this case, her mum and her boyfriend's dad seem to have been sneaking around, keeping their relationship secret. It's a bit rich for them now to add to that by trying to put an end to someone else's relationship.
I know it's slightly uncomfortable as your friend might find herself dating, or even marrying, her step brother. But they're not blood relations and weren't related when they met, or even now. She should calmly explain that she isn't going to end her relationship over this.
