Hey, shit happens, but you don't have to put it between two slices of bread and eat it. I was down in the dumps at one point, my girlfriend cheating on me on the verge of me asking her to marry me, then living back home with my parents in the sticks, making gas money on an internship that stretched for a whole year, with a two-hour commute and little hope of a permanent hire--and now I'm living on my own, in the city, with a good job and decent pay. It can't rain all the time, although it will feel like it.
You have a fiance who's graduating from med school, so build on the strength of your relationship. You own a home, so you have equity. You're gainfully employed and making enough money to meet the bills. You sound like you're still young, so you have time to continue higher education and get that degree, which I wholeheartedly recommend you do, especially for CS and Eng. Without the diploma, you won't get a foot in the door in the tech sector, no matter how well you network. People aren't willing to go out on that limb, not these days.
Don't give up. Try another advisor. Ask some friends. Build up some funds, somehow. And I wouldn't settle for technical school. Those specialized degrees are a tough sell to the hiring manager.
