She treated me like a husband for about 6 weeks after moving out.
My W did something similar, after S she still wanted to do some "family" stuff together but as time went on she pulled back more and more. I think it's just the WAS trying to keep their feet in both worlds in case plan A doesn't work out. As time has gone on it seems like my W has grown more comfortable with her single life though.

She finally said that she was stressed out about vacation and was feeling trapped again.
Take that as your queue to detach and give her more time and space.

Something I am having trouble with. For her new job, she goes out frequently for drinks with her coworkers. She talks frequently about how there are several people at work that are divorced and/or single. I struggle with listening to this. I can't say anything because it will look like jealously which is something she has mentioned in the past that bothers her.
Your W is embarking on a new life on her own, unfortunately you've got to quit thinking about her as your W and leave her to live her life. All you can do is concentrate on yourself and make the best of your life without her. That's how I've come to see my W after a year of S, someone that used to be part of my life but isn't anymore. Maybe she will be again some day, but for now she's chosen not to be.

Several opportunities are coming up that will put the chance out there to spend time together.
Based on her comment about feeling trapped I would not invite her to any activities for a while, and don't expect her to invite you to any.
