I’m going to be blunt.

Forget the coffee house and wine bar.

Your jobs are 2 hours apart without traffic. That means, if you live in the middle, your daily commutes will probably be about 3 hours round trip, each of you, if you are lucky. You will not be happy. Neither will he. If you live close to Amherst, you will not survive your commute. It could be 5 hours round trip or more.

My advice? One of you needs to work or school remotely - or he needs to go to a school near Boston.

Or just see each other on weekends.

I'd say stick with western Mass and get a job out of Bradley. Screw driving to Boston even twice a week. That's hell even in the normal commuter areas, nevermind from somewhere that's going to be daily drivable from Amherst. Plenty of wine bars and coffee shops in Pioneer Valley.

Edit: Also, OP, upgrade from Trader Joe and shop at Atkins instead.
