 Hiya, it seems like a heart to heart is way past due!!
you need to arange a night where you get some girly "bits" face masks, hair dye, bath bubbles and ban men for the night!
Have a peoper girly night state that men are banned and that its just you and her to catch up.
Then when you feel the time is right broach the subject again.
How you miss having these girly times with her, that she has changed and that she needs to set times with her friends that dont invilve men.
hope this helps.

 I think you should remind her she wouldnt be so happy if you hadn't introduced him to her so maybe she should be grateful and thank u you can also add that you're happy about her realtionship but that not everybody is at the summit of their love life so meaybe she should be more discrete about her hapiness so that she doesn't get people bored or fed up, explain it's not personal but borin to liten the same stuff again and again and u could maybe do something different like going shopping clubbin of to a beauty saloon together
ciao

 Making a comment like "we're tired of how you treat us like crap just because you have a boyfriend", might put her in a defensive position and make her less inclined to listen to you, so even thought you would like to say that, I would recommend you refrain from it.
Maybe you could tell her that you are concerned with how insensitive she has become lately to her friends. Ask her what has happened to the person you used to be friends with.
Tell her that even though you understand that her boyfriend is very important to her, it is never a good idea to loose her own personality and interests.
Probably she will tell you that you are just jealous, or something like that, but at least you would have tried.
What kind of boyfriend does she have, that he puts up with having such an insensitive girlfriend? Is he the same way himself? Maybe that's why she changed.
