I also live two hours (or more, depending upon traffic)from work. Yeah, Dave...good luck selling the house. Not gonna happen. Foreclosure on one side of me, my house underwater. Let’s be realistic.

Maybe rent the house and buy/rent one closer to work.
Even if you have to take a monetary loss, I just don’t think it is worth 4 hours a day of anyone’s time. You’ll never ever get that time back, but you might have a shot at getting the money back somehow.
I do like Dave’s common sense financial advice. It’s helped me and my family a lot over the years.
He gets up at 3 a.m. and doesnt get home until 7 p.m.
For a couple of years, my husband and I lived apart, because his work was quite a distance away. He lived in an apartment during the week and came home on weekends.
The price of houses where he worked was (and still is, I believe) astronomical. At least a few years ago, houses are simply not affordable where the jobs are. I saw a show about people who work in L.A. and live 3-4 hours away... they spend all their time commuting. Ick.
