She hasn’t said a peep to me since she’s got back.
Kind18 said it well above. Easier said than done, but your time is much better spent focusing on making yourself a better man than what she said or didn't say in counseling. Most likely it wouldn't be what you wanted to hear anyway. I remember checking our joint calendar and phone records to find comfort in the fact my then-W was going to her IC session, assuming the counselor would be advising her not to walk away from her marriage to the father of her two very young children. No clue what they did talk about, but even if the counselor did recommend that she didn't listen. They're going to do whatever they want to do regardless of what a counselor, or their family member, or their friends recommend. They'll seek out the advice that validates their decision based on feelings and disregard the advise and people who challenge their views. Your best approach is to block all that out and work on yourself.
