[MsAlyssa89]

You could just divorce him instead...

Well yeah, If the registration and or title is in your name only I suppose you could, legally repo your own car. However if his name is anywhere on the two documents you might have a problem on down the road if you two are planning on splitting up the sheets, it depends on the community property laws in the state that you reside in and have yet to name.
and..

is it unethical and mean thing to do?

I'm not about to go down that alley, ..

Well, you might be right, or partially right. As you stated, some of this answer can depend on the state, as laws differ greatly. In my state, for example, spouse 1 can't deny spouse 2's access and use of a vehicle which has been their primary transportation even if spouse 1 is the named owner and has paid every dime toward the vehicle, even if they owned the vehicle prior to marriage! Even an unmarried person in a cohabitation arrangement might find themselves in a similar quandary. So, my answer to MsAlyssa89 has to default to "no, you may not take the car" until given information that confirms that "yes, indeed, you may".
