MRW my best mate gets a new Gf and stops responding to texts

It's important to maintain a balance with your friends and your relationship; one shouldn't just be abruptly cut off for the other, and I don't think most people mean for that to happen if it does. They just get caught up in life, splitting time between work or school and their relationship. And when the relationship itself is relatively happy, healthy, and fulfilling, it's understandable that you want to spend as much time as you can enjoying that with your significant other.

In my case, I moved to a new city for a new job hundreds of miles away from most of my friends, then met a girl within my first month of living here, instantly connected with her, we fell head-over-heels for each other, and we became each other's new best friend and relationship partner in the process.

We don't really have any mutual friends. She has her own group of friends she's had for years but doesn't socialize with as much these days just from being busy and whatnot, and my group of friends is all spread out over several states hundreds of miles apart and also busy with their own lives at this point.

I've gradually gotten to know some of her friends, and they all seem sweet and highly supportive of our relationship as they recognize I have a positive impact on her life, rather than feeling slighted that she actively chooses to spend more time with me now. Likewise, even though many of my friends haven't even met her yet, they make a point to recognize her importance in my life and show support for our relationship and put forth an effort to include her with me when inviting us to events, which I greatly appreciate.

I don't intentionally pay less attention to my friends. It's just a matter of distance, being busy, and of course being actively involved in a new relationship. I still make a point to keep up with my friends as much as possible, though, which is made at least a little easier thanks to the wonders of social media, phone calls, frequent text messages, and so on.
