Do I keep my house I purchased before the marriage?

Divorce lawyer at Anne B. Howard, A Professional Law Corporation
That's your separate property home but the community may have an interest in it as you've been making principal payments during the marriage. There are cases that handle this and you should consult with an attorney. Opinion not legal advice.

What can I do to get my things and can he just kick me out?

Divorce lawyer at Morelos Law Firm
You do in fact have certain rights and interests to the property even though you are not on the deed based on the minimal facts you provided. But at the very least, you are entitled to your very personal clothes, toiletries, and effects and I'm so sorry he has done that to you given your situation as it is! You should consult with an attorney as soon as possible to discuss immediate court intervention, possibly even some criminal measures if he is in fact harboring certain personal items that definitely would not be subject to property division.

An informal marriage may or may not require a divorce. There is a presumption that an informal marriage has ended or did not exist if no divorce suit is filed for a given period of time after the parties separate. There are too many unexplained facts in your question to provide a specific answer. I suggest you hire a lawyer.
