I'm at the point now like I've really had it.For awhile I have been considering just going back to Panama.Would my I-129f be null and void if I did this ?

No, nothing stops you from going back for a visit, even staying until the interview time.

Could the Embassy claim you've given up U.S. domicile (one of the requirements by the Dept. of Sate) if you returned to the foreign country for months in order to wait for the petition process to finish and receive the visa? Then, having lost domicile, could they withhold the visa? Obviously, or not, the intent of the petitioner or U.S. citizen is to return to the U.S. but such intent can be difficult to prove. Ironic that you would even have to prove such a thing when you're trying to obtain a visa for your spouse to enter the U.S....I don't understand some things.

You would have to formally withdraw the petition if you were to return permanently, otherwise the unfinished application could cause problems if you choose to return to the US permanently later.

True, you would have to maintain your address in the U.S.

Petitioners

In order for an application for an immigrant visa to be approved, the petitioner, whether a United States citizen or a permanent resident, must be domiciled in the United States. That is, while a petitioner may spend a significant amount of time abroad, he or she must demonstrate that his or her life is based primarily in the United States, and will be for the foreseeable future.

The reason for this requirement is simple: immigrant visas are intended to reunite families. There is no reunification to be accomplished - and therefore no reason to issue an immigrant visa - if the petitioner is not residing in the country to which the applicants intend to move.
