Is it normal friend ignores me?

I've known this friend for 5 years now, although we haven't actually met in person since we met on the internet, but we do skype calls together and talk on facebook.

Nearly everyday we would talk to each other or send funny pictures, my friend was usually the one to send things first and we always played games together. Recently however my friend has gotten into a relationship with someone and is dating them, and slowly my friend has stopped talking to me entirely.

They don't bother talking to me anymore and it was me sending stuff but they'd either ignore it for a few days (which they rarely ever do as my friend responds very quickly) or sends one reply and that's it. I know my friend is ignoring me because they are usually online most of the time and I can see they've read it but don't respond.

I feel really hurt by this and I want to bring it up with them to ask if I might of done something wrong, but I don't want to be rude or start anything, so honestly I don't know what to do. I kind if feel like it's because of the person their dating now, but I don't know.

    I got a theory ... But I'm not at all sure because you didn't mention any genders.
    If you and your friend were of the opposite gener or gay it might be possible they developed feelings for you and now that they're in a relationship they need to distance themselves to not feel conflicted.
    Does that make sense?

        Sorry this happened to you. Losing a friend sucks. I hope you have others.

        Yes, it sounds like your friend's partner may be feeling threatened by your friendship, and so your friend is distancing himself from you in order to protect his relationship. I'm sorry you're going through that, and I hope you can restore the friendship at some point, perhaps when either your friend's partner begins to feel a bit more secure in the relationship or their relationship comes to an end.

    Something is wrong. Maybe the new friend is controlling. Matbe they are just too busy. A best friend should still want your friendship and support.

    I had a friend who randomly started ignoring me. She claimed we "grew apart". If your friend has a problem with you, they should be mature and speak up. If not, you should ask "hey where have you been?" If they admit it is something with their new s/o, a good friend will tell you the truth.
