Swiss national residing in UK, working in Switzerland

Hello,

I have a question that no one seems to be able to answer:

I am a Swiss citizen. My husband is an American citizen. We are moving to the UK because my husband can get a family permit through me. He will be working in the UK. We will rent an apartment under my name, and will pay taxes there. Now I received a job offer in Switzerland. Can anyone tell me, if it is possible for me to work in Switzerland as a frontier worker, and reside in the UK? Am I still exercising my treaty rights? Or how about I exercise my treaty rights as being self-sufficient, and work in Switzerland, while returning to the UK every week, and not exceeding the 6 months maximum absence allowance?

Will I get in trouble for being a self sufficient person, and traveling regularly? I could not find anything prohibiting traveling abroad as a self sufficient person.

Thank you for any advice.
