Or may as well be, seeing as she is ghosting me for some reason!
Mate of a few years has been with her boyfriend about 2 years. Since she has been with him contact with her and seeing her in general and slowly declined.
Got to the point now where she NEVER texts, unless I text first. Doesn't wish me happy birthday (I'm not 12 so I'm not offended by this but when it is a close pal you do pick up on it!)
If I didn't text her again I wouldn't ever hear off her again.
Friendship with her has always been good, always have a laugh and have things in common.
Is she ghosting me? She doesn't seem to see many other people either (according to SM and when I've occasionally seen her).
Anyone else been through this?
Advice please?

Talk to her about it. This happened to me when a really good friend moved abroad. We were in regular contact via text/phone for a while after she moved then she just stopped responding. In the end i just asked her if she was ok as i hadn't heard from her for a while. She was depressed/overwhelmed and had been isolating herself. We're still friends, I waited until she felt more like talking to people then the text/calls started again.

@luzina thanks for the advice - may contact her in the next week or so to see how she is.

If it's only started since she's with him have you ever thought he could be the problem....maybe their relationship looks perfect from the outside but behind loses doors he is controlling over who she can text, speak to etc....you only have to look through the threads on Mumsnet to see this kind of thing does happen .... of course there is always the chance that the friendship has run its course and you are both naturally drifting apart....but bear the first one in mind if it only started when she got with him (has she ghosted drifted apart from anyone else since getting with him?)

Unfortunately I have a friend like this at the moment and I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'm better off without 'friends' who ignore you. It is hard when you share years of your life with someone only for them to cut ties but some friends are in your life for only part of it. I am here if she decides to remember I exist.
