Hmm my W used to complain about her work everyday. It got to the point where I had to ask her to only say positive things about work because I couldn't take it anymore. :-/
We have the same daily routine. I occasionally can fit things in during the week but there still doesn't seem to be enough to keep me busy 7 days a week.
It does sound like you're holding up REALLY well. Not only that you seem to have a lot of positive interactions with the ex.
I'm definitely no expert but it sounds like what ever you're doing its the right thing.
Having to start completely over doesn't sound like such a bad thing, what I wouldn't give to have that chance with my W.

Thanks. I now think starting over would be in both of our best interests. She made a comment last week after I took our daughter back jokingly asking if I had a hot date that night. I was semi dressed up but I had to go to work early that night so I was dressed for that instead of the usual gym clothes. She was taken back a little when I didn't laugh and I said no, I'm not at that point.
Overall our interactions are good, I take our daughter out to dinner once or twice a week. Sometimes she joins us sometimes not. I think that's a positive. We did have an argument yesterday about summer vacation schedules. But that was patched over and resolved today. Thanks for your encouragement. I know this will be a long arduous process but it'll be worth it. Now I just have to keep my sister's from playing match maker
