He says for me to wait for now plus that I always "kick him out" or want him out. I actually don't want him out but we've been fighting a lot lately. What does this mean to you? I take it as he's not sure if we're going to last again and he'd rather not go through the trouble of having joint accounts just to have them removed...What do you all think?

It means he doesn't trust you. If you're really in TX, it's a community property state, so you're entitled to 50% of what's in there in case of a divorce - but he's got all the control over it.
Doesn't sound like a marriage, as much as a business partnership with common living arrangements.

It could mean nothing significant. My parents will be married for 36 years as of tomorrow and have had separate bank accounts since forever.
With some joint accounts, depending on how they're titled, if one partner becomes incapacitated or dies, the other has to jump thru a LOT of hoops and red tape just to get access to money to pay bills. That's more hassle than it's worth.

absolutely right. he's insecure of the relationship. i dated a girl for about a year and gave her full access to my checking account. we got into a big fight and SHE determined what a fair and equitable division of MY account should be. thank goodness there's limits to cash withdrawals per day!!!!!

He does not want to lose the money that is currently in his name if you get divorced.

You need marriage counseling, not insurance advice.
