Does your husband speak the language?
I don't think you did anything "wrong". I had a nieghbour whose girlfriend broke up with her, and who went nuts with anxiety. I gave her a few off my klonopin until she could get to her doc, who she told what I had done and her doc gave her more!! She literally could not stay still - I hadn't seen anyone in such bad shape since I was in hospital.
Not working is hard, esp for a man who might define himself according to the work he does, or who has worked all of his life and just plain doesn't know what to do with himself. Try to find some volunteeer work he can do, with the food bank maybe. Get him working! Can he build you a deck? Renovate the garage? Fix your parents' car? Design the house you'll build someday?
And remember exercise. It's the great stress reliever. Do you have a community center where he could strike up a basketball game?
Good luck with this. I've been through this is a different way, and I know how very painful it can be.
