Hi Painter, from what you post, your H still sounds pretty conflicted to me. If you would prefer to stay local for a while, go for it. If you guys S, you can still focus on rebuilding your life and being minimally available to him. I do think there is less chance of reconciliation if there's a huge geographical distance involved - though I guess it depends if he has links with the area you would be going to.
JMHO of course & good luck with whatever you decide
