My wife is literally the DSM definition of borderline personality disorder (one of the cluster b personality types) and she does have empathy, a lot of it actually. I'm not sure about the other cluster-B types though. Everything is about feelings for her, because her emotions are extreme and hard to regulate. She's the friend that gets called when their life is falling apart because she knows what that feels like almost 100% of the time. Her decisions are always based on emotions. Naturally, because of her lack of emotional health she has unrealistic expectations of me but it's not because she can't empathize with me, it's because she has the emotional health of a child and is afraid of abandonment.
