23:42 Friend acting unbothered following his wife's death – what might be going on?

1. My wife had a best friend since 5yrs old up until last year when she got an extremely aggressive cancer at the age of 42 which unfortunately took her life in only a few shorts months since diagnosis. As you can imagine it caused a great deal of sadness for my wife, myself, and her friends and family. Her husband on the other hand at least from outside seems to have a totally different response to this situation. At her funeral there was not any look of sadness or not even one tear on his face. No one took much notice as of course people have different reactions to bad situations. However in the coming few months we learned that he was already on dating apps and not long after that found another girlfriend and it's like nothing happened. It's like he lost a business partner and just got another. This culminated when he rang my wife to ask her if this new girlfriend can come to my son's communion to which she was put on the spot and found it hard to say no. The event was very awkward and I was angry that he put her in that position. My question is this, what should I make of this person? My feelings towards him have changed. I no longer want his kids and mine playing together as I don't want to interact with the new girlfriend neither does my wife. How does someone move on so fast after a near 20 yr marriage? I'm confused and angered by all of this. It feels like a betrayal of her memory. Can you share your opinion of this situation?
