Love, Lies, and Bank Accounts

I have three bank accounts. Two joint and one that I feel is mine all mine and it doesn't concern you because our financial life doesn't depend on this account and if you leave today at least I have that. Well I recently purchase a car and with the payments that I will be making my husband feels as though I can't afford it. The reality is that I can based on paycheck. But if I have something extra that I want to purchase I have my secret account to cover it. He asks to see ALL account statements and I don't bring this one to the table. He says if I can't produce that statement for him then he knows where we stand. I wouldn't want that to be the demise of our relationship but I don't think tha is any of his business. The money was there before him and it will be there after him. What should I do because I am not bringing it to the table?
