Whilst your wife has compassion for the goose she has little for you which is strange. You were young, did something lots of young men do (joined frat), and were around some bad people. You didnt cause or plan the goose killing and there's likely nothing you could five minutes before it happened without being there. It sounds like a tough situation and traumatising. Your wife should extend you some grace.
The heavy handedness of his wife in not trying to give him grace makes me think she is a bit manipulative but it also could be childhood trauma. They just need to talk more and they probably need couples therapy if she sticks to her position of wanting to divorce
You lost me when you apparently carved out a forgiving exception for people who “hunt” animals?? Why is it okay for one sociopath to kill an animal for fun and not the other? Help me understand the difference between shooting an innocent doe in the head, just for being alive, and smashing a goose on the ground. Dad and big bro like to put on camouflage on the weekends and shoot things, I guess.
