It's like her new boyfriend is her best friend now and feel betrayed. I tell her how i feel and she doesn't get it that sometimes i wanna spend time with her also but every weekend is already planned for him to hang. I just feel lonely now we're slowly coming apart...what can i do?

You're just going to have to accept it and see her when you get a chance and when she's available. My best friend started a relationship in late December and I haven't seen him much since then but I don't mind that's kind of how it works.
Look it sucks, you don't get to see them as much but there's nothing you can do really but hang out with other friends. Developing a relationship takes time and effort, she should balance that with her friendships but it's very easy to be blinded by love and caught up in the moment where all you want to do is spend all your time with your partner. You're not coming apart she's just busy and of course you're her second choice romance always takes precedence at the start.
You should just talk to her and tell her how you feel, try not to sound so jealous though because what you're saying could easily be interpreted by her as that. Tell her you miss her and you want to hang out, then take it from there.
