marieburch,

He has never been like this? He is empathetic to "your needs"? He kicked you out and didn't care about your feelings though. He tricked you into signing papers agreeing to no ownership of that home.

Why not divorce you? Oh, is that totally up to him too?

Ok, I understand that he is very unhappy at work. Than "can" make someone very depressed. Was he "always" unhappy with work?

Also, you have been dealing with this for two months, and he consistently has blamed it on you, "your fault".

What education does he have? Maybe he needs to look for a job elsewhere?

You know, you are so damn close to getting your masters, which he is suddenly in crisis and is distracting you from, which I find troubling. Well after you get your masters, maybe you could work while he goes back to school, or changes careers somehow? At 29, it's not unusual to decide you don't like what you are doing for a living, that is actually reasonable. But he should at least hang on until you get your masters and can get a good job and maybe take over if he needs to find a different job or maybe go back to school to get what he needs to do a career change.

But, if you do that and make any mortgage payments, then that house has to also be in your name too. I don't like what he did when it comes to that house. Either you and him are partners, or there is no point in staying together IMHO.
