Hopefully, I am not being put into that camp but the OP's initial question and reason for the commute seemed strange. Thus my question. Now that we have a bit more and clearer info as to the exact circumstances I think folks can given reasonable answers.

For the OP, I would be asking questions like can I work from home one/two days a week or is it possible to have a flex schedule 4-10s (Fridays off) or 9-9s (every other Friday off).

While a sublet and traveling home for the weekends might not be ideal. You might think about a room were you can crash perhaps once or twice a week. If combined with working at home that might be tolerable.
