I am a Messianic Rabbi and we have a men's group as part of our synagogue life. It meets every Monday night, at various restaurants, for two hours. A few years ago my nephew married a beautiful young woman, whom we love, but she is exhibiting a behavior that is strange and troubling to me and I need help understanding. She says that she is "devastated" (her words) when my nephew goes to the men's group. It has been reported by witnesses that she cries and won't eat and has even stated that she is offended that I would create a situation where she can't be with her husband. What is going on here? This seems to be an extreme over-reaction to being separated from her husband for a mere two hours per week! I can't help but believe that she has some deep-seated, emotional issue that needs to be addressed.
