What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MS
Only recently married, we have bought a truck together with a loan in my name and accrued much credit card debt. Is he responsible for paying any of this when we get divorced? Is he entitled to any of my house I owned before him?

There can be some variability, but in general, whoever keeps the truck also gets the loan on the truck. Credit card debt is generally split 50:50 - although if one person is found to have dissipated marital assets, that could change.

If the home was in your name before you married and you didn't put it in his name, then you should retain your initial equity. If you paid the mortgage, maintenance, taxes, etc with marital assets, then any increase in equity would be split, but that's not likely to be significant after 2 months. The key is that I hope you didn't add his name to the title.
