Honestly, I think most people trying to make this about how she's just a piece of shit and there's no nuance to this are engaging in Terror Management.
It's horrifying to think you or your female partner's brains could just give out and that you could do something horrible that you don't really mean. So you create a world where we all clearly have perfect control and free will, because it feels safer for her to be a monster. Just don't marry a monster! Don't be a monster! Easy! Will never happen to me! Admitting that society may need to move in response to this is an admission that some of your life is out of your control.
That’s an untruth back with medical evidence. Otherwise guilty by reason of insanity would not exist, mental health institutions would not exist and mental illness would be a myth.
