You can retain your status IF your wife is ready to help you otherwise you are not supposed to be in UK.

You should try and explain to him that you will loose your status, if she divorce now, she can divorce after 3 years, it wont affect you, the rule was you must be married for 3 years, and try and keep all her documents as they will request for pay slips, if she is not working she must be either a student or self employed and you must have all the documents like her certificate or receipt of her school fees during the time you are together.
You can also consult an immigration lawyer who is conversant with EU immigration rules.
goodluck
