Partner ended relationship but staying in house

So its complicated but.. have 2 children 7 and 4 and been with partner 10 years now. Its been difficult as I have a long term health condition and have not been able to work the past year. Its been really tough. Lots of cracks in the relationship and have not been close at all lately just focusing on the kids. He lost his job 8 months ago and decided to go self employed. However i recently found out he hasnt earnt money really doing this and unbeknown to me we have actually been living off a bank loan for 6 months!! He has masses of debt overall all kept hidden from me. Ive had to step in now and pay for everything out of my savings for the last 3 months and it seems ongoing now. He says hes trying to get another job now but as we know this isnt a quick thing. I have been so angry about this I exploded again and the outcome of the argument was that he says he is done with me now and its better to end it now rather than in another 2 years as we have no relationship and he doesnt see things changing. Apparently our relationship doesnt benefit anyone. This was a shock to me as although things have been really bad I have been working towards improving my health and hoping to work again in the near future and to get everything back on track. He needs me to keep on paying for everything til he finds a job that actually pays. My problem is obviously he has said he doesnt want to be with me but is staying in the house as he says his children are here. Once my savings are gone I will have nothing and if my health doesnt really pick up I have little earning potential once Im left alone. I feel like hes setting himself up to be able to move on as he cant do it now but its all at my expense til then. He can walk off with a high paid job and I will really struggle. Do i have any rights here? Its a joint mortgage we are not married. He wont really discuss things just says you know what Im doing Im trying to get a job but no mention about hes actually leaving me etc. Its like he is biding his time. He is very emotionally distant anyway and this is amplified now. He wont really speak about me and him. Im starting to feel really unwell now I cant sleep and my heart is racing all day. Is there anything I can do here?
