The wife looked crazy, and there was a lot of gossip about her husband after that.
In theory, I can understand there may be situations where a person would have a legitimate reason to tell another person to stay away from their SO. I can't think of any (maybe medical incapacitation?) but I'm sure there are times when this may be a valid reaction.
In reality, the only times I've heard of this happening in real life, it's never been justified behavior. In the worst case, it was the mistress calling the man's wife (and the mother of his children) to "stay away from her man" right before Christmas. When he was still living at home with his wife and children. And the wife had no idea about the affair prior to the phone call. In the other cases, the women doing the warning (and it was always women doing this) were going after women that had no interest whatsoever in their men.
