2.5 hr is not bad to commute back/forth once a week, for either one of
you. My wife is 3.5-4 hr, we mostly go back/forth every weekend or two,
she will probably be here more often now as she is going to 4-day week.
300 mi would be closer to 4/4.5 hr still doable if it makes sense
economically, split your time.
I think of it like military people, some of them are gone for months but
things still work out.
My wife bought another little house up there, it actually made some
sense given interest rates are low (a house becomes a better investment
than your investment accounts) and monthly payment is not a lot
different than renting given a low mortgage rate, plus the tax
deductions and appreciation that is likely to occur makes it worthwhile.
If you can make the numbers work, and you can stand the bi-locational
aspect, it can be made to work out. the way the economy is these days,
and how jobs have no guarantee, a lot of people just have to make
situations work.

I had a verbal offer last fall from the WWE (yeah, that WWE) in Stamford, CT
for nearly double my salary. Its 2 1/2 hours south of where I live. We're still
probably $20k underwater on the house which should finally be fixed in 2017
with some upgrading and mortgage paying down but I don't want to move to CT
anyway.
I don't really want to work for the WWE but theres a lot of other stuff going
on down there, it'd be a short jump job to get my foot in the door for the area
and 4x 10hr days which would be kinda workable...

How far is Dallas from where you live now?
Could you do a 4-day work week then commute back to Okieland? Just rent
a cheap apartment down there? Wifey could either work there too or
visit if she wants a big city fix?
