[quote=Anonymous]Firstly, he can move out, but he cannot sell the house out from under you (assuming that you are on the deed, but even if you're not, it would still be considered marital property). If he moves out and wants to divorce, he will have to split all assets with you, either 50/50 or in some other way that you agree to. In some cases, this can include any pension he has built up at his job.

It sounds to me like he is frustrated and stressed out by his role as main breadwinner, and if you would like to repair your marriage and help him to be less frustrated and stressed out, you will need to work on getting a job that pays more. You'd need to do this if you divorced as well.

So my advice would be to finish your degree somehow, since that's pretty much going to be required for any job you find. If your relationship with him is otherwise good, I would actually try to talk to him about it. "DH, I thought about what you said about finding a job that pays better after Jonas goes to college, and I would really like to do that. I am most interested in X, but I need to Y (finish Q number of credits, get Z certification) before I can do that. Can we sit down and create a plan for how I will accomplish this?"[/quote]
