My particular circumstances were...incredibly unique, so I can't exactly give advice based off experience. But there was a point when I realized things were changing in a way I hadn't expected, and I...just stood back and let it happen, instead of trying to talk to either of them. So, I suppose, if you trust at least one of them enough to start, I'd try to talk it out. I know that's a lot easier said than done, but it's that or you just...watch it fall apart and wonder if maybe you missed a chance to keep it together.
