When a close friendship changes after one person enters a relationship

My closest friend and I have been drifting since they got into a serious relationship and I can't tell if this is normal growing apart or if I'm being quietly pushed out. We used to talk every day and now it's been three weeks since I heard from them, and when we do connect it feels polite and distant.
