APY, I think your comment is Motzi Shem Ra. You may not know these people, but Lenny does. Why raise negative ideas in his head about his wife and Rabbi? And you have no evidence for your comments other than what Lenny wrote. There may be some very good reasons why the Rabbi didn’t say anything to him. Maybe he thought that it would make it worse. Or maybe he did say something and it went over his head. Or maybe he thought that it would be better for the wife to find a way to deal with it herself. I could definitely see why he thought that speaking to the husband directly wouldn’t be a good idea. After all, it was the wife who approached him and not the husband. He is not allowed to repeat what she told him w/o permission and she may not have wanted to. He also has no way of knowing if it’s true or not, and again, he may not have thought it would be helpful. His job was to try to help the wife find a way to deal with it.
In general, posters have to be very careful about jumping to conclusions. You only know a snippet of the story, and even that much may not be completely reliable or objective. You certainly have no right to judge the other people involved without hearing from them!
