Should I delete my ex best friend?

I'm female, and been friends with a guy for about 20 years. We had different partners back in the day but we are married to other people now.

We were pretty much best mates and when we got with the people we are married to now, we used to hang out all together, go away for weekend and meals.

They had a child quite early on in their relationship. The child was always welcome and accommodated into our plans. They then had another one, the same again.

When it was our turn to have a child, I felt the tables turned quite a bit, they met another couple on holiday who was childless and seemed to spend time with them, they never invited us to anything anymore and we were dropped pretty much straight away.

There's never been a falling out as such, but just no contact really. I feel they seemed to have changed as people and they are not my cup of tea anymore.

I still have them on social media and I'm wondering whether it's time to cut the cord online as they have in RL.

Do I take them off my socials or just leave them?

Do you regularly delete people from SM? I’d just leave them, less dramatic really.

I'd delete them. What's the point in having them when you're no longer friends. Chances are they won't even realise for long enough.
