How would divorce work and the division of assets? Move back, rent a small place and find a job to pay bills. Then you can get your money and do bigger things.

Or return for a 3 month visit.

Move back. Get settled where YOU want to live. Then keep communication open. You may not want kids now, but you need to plan for it before it’s too late. Whether with him or not.

You will most likely feel MORE resentment if you follow your DH again to another foreign country.
I think you are on the right track to go back and find a proper job in the US. I don't think many thrive as a trailing spouse anyway (unless they have a fabulous expat package + in a culture they were interested in before moving there).
