AIBU to be worried about a friend?

Long story short, a good friend of 10+ years of mine has met a new guy. After 6 weeks they move in together. She's 30s, he's 50s. He has 1 DD and is separated from his wife.

So. Despite my best attempts, getting information about her new partner is like getting blood out of a stone.

She's barely replying to my attempts of contact. Usually she'd be getting back to me or contacting me first and we'd catch up weekly.

I've send two texts, called once over two weeks and no answer. Clearly if she doesn't want to reply, that's her choice.

AIBU to be worried? Is this just normal being-wrapped-up-in-new-partner stuff?

Finding it all a bit odd.

Really hard to say tbh. Sounds like she’s totally loved up and if you’ve expressed doubt about the relationship she probably doesn’t want you pissing on her parade.
I would leave it for a bit. Let her know you’re there, still her mate but I’d be careful of badgering her for details.
Maybe ask her out for a pre Christmas drink?

Lovingbenidorm I've made sure to be nothing but positive. She's known to be a bit sensitive so always careful with what I say.

I hope she is just loved up and I'm just getting used to her newly partnered self!
