I'd talk to a lawyer about what seems likely with respect to asset splitting / alimony. If he isn't planning on giving you much in the way of anything -- then you don't have anything to lose with respect to worrying about lawyers fees etc.
Money brings out the worst in people. Always.
It sounds like you basically have made a decision... It is just about logistics...
It is worth figuring transport costs into accommodation. The *true cost* of accommodation, if you like. Cars are very expensive to run. The money I'd save on having a large commute in I would end up spending on public transport or on fuel, parking, insurance, depreciation etc etc etc. Not to mention the time taken to commute and the commuter rage which would take years off my life...
How do most people do it? They make payment plans. Pay things off over a couple / few years - depending on the expense. I think dentists and mechanics etc can have good plans (and you aren't likely to be a sucker) since their services are fairly necessary.
