I can tell from the way that you have phrased the question here that the first few months of marriage have not been the easiest. The first 6 minths I think can be the most trying in an attempt to meld your separate lives together. The general rule is that property purchased prior to marriage - and with out there being shown an intention to make it marital property - is separate property. Perhaps you need to take some time apart. But do not burn your bridges by throwing her things in to the street. 90 days ago you were living the rest of your lives together. Good luck.
