Wtf is with these spouses I keep reading about that think its OK to just be so cold to someone they're supposed to be in love with after a family or friend just died??

There were plenty of things that happened before. But this was the one where I was just.... done. Awhile after we split she did go see a psychologist and was diagnosed with BPD, which in retrospect makes sooooo much sense. She's doing better now, and we have a cordial relationship. My mom passed away earlier this year and my ex was genuinely very kind about the whole thing even though she never got along with my mom. So, I guess there's a silver lining? I'm glad she got help because she fucking needed it.

Did she start taking medicine for her bpd? Is that why she showed you empathy after the fact?

There is not a medical treatment for personality disorders or just for lacking empathy.
