You all make give such good advice. As it turns out I ran into a psychologist friend of mine yesterday afternoon and told her about the situation. She asked me how much it bothered me to talk to my friend who makes things up. I told her it really didn't bother me; I just felt like I was wasting my time. She said since it didn't bother me I should probably not tell her I know her boyfriend does not exist and that I should continue to talk to her for the time being. She thinks the story will run its course and she will stop talking about him and then we can work on cooling the friendship. She is too fragile to do anything now, especially since I am so far away. So, I guess I will continue to talk to her a little while longer. How did I get myself into this?
