Should you stop being friends with someone who has completely ditched you for their boyfriend?

Ok so I set my best friend up with one of my boyfriends friends and it was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made. They’re completely obsessed with one another and I haven’t hung out with her in months even though I’ve asked her to but she would make up other excuses. The only time I really see her is if her boyfriend comes along. On top of that, she always makes comparisons/digs to my relationship. For example, I don’t necessarily get along with my boyfriends family sometimes. Then she would make a comment like “oh I’m so lucky that *******’S family likes me. They invited me over for dinner last night!”

Another time I was upset about something and she came over to see me for an hour or so. The whole time she was over her boyfriend called her constantly and she said right in front of me “ok I’ll cut this short” even though they had already spent the whole week together and I was just asking for an hour. 

And yes, other people see this too and have even said something to her but she’ll ignore it and continue to be obsessed with her boyfriend. Do I cut her off?

Update:

U have also hinted at this and have made comments like you’re so obsessed with him

    Don't cut it off. It's not a crisis, just cool it. Her hot romance will cool in the not distant future, that's how early relationships work. Text her every week or two: "Thinking of you, hope you are well". Don't despair if you get no answer. If six months have passed without her initiating a convo, ask her if the two of you are still friends every day for a week. If no answer, she's out of your life and I'm sorry. If the relationship has moderated to a sane level, you'll hear from her. Wishing you well - friends are a good thing to have.

    Sounds like you are jealous of their successful bond with one another.

    Sounds like you need to focus on your life, clearly you are jealous of her. She's prioritizing her man and i suggest you do the same with yours

    I would definitely considering distancing yourself from her. From what you are saying this friend of yours if obviously jealous of what you and your boyfriend have. As a consequence, she now views herself as being in competition with you. The best way of defusing this situation is to put a bit of distance between yourself and her so that she can move forward. Eventually she will realize that these constant comparisons between herself and you are pointless and that she is much better off forming an identity of her own.
