I'm actually asking the same question, why are you keeping finances together?
What does any of this have to do with you? When you separated, you opted out of having any say in his choice of mate. If he wants to marry a beggar off the street, by separating from him you gave up the rights to object. He's your ex. Not sure why you're scrutinizing what type of woman he chose really.
more of the same questions arise here. Why are you concerned here? It seems to me you still want to stake a claim on being able to scrutinize his life. Again, you dont' want to share a bed, home, and life with this man, but you want to have a say in his choice of women. Let it go.
the bold faced portion is kind of telling. You want to be independent of him in almost all ways but you want to keep him on a string, or so it seems by this statement. You feel he should pick someone that's going to accept your oddly linked life with your ex, and to be honest, almost all women and men that date a person who's divorced or separated are not going to accept this.
Seems even though you, on the surface, have let your husband go, you actually haven't completely. The jealous reaction speaks volumes.

Thank you for your honesty. I guess the underlying cause of this for me is that I still love him very much, but he no longer loves me the same way. I'm really concerned too about our children and where they stand in all of this. I don't want another woman sponging off my ex at the expense of my children. If we didn't have kids together I feel that it would be so much easier to move on, but for some reason this whole situation is really getting to me.
You are right though, it is unusual to keep joint assets. I guess we were just having a slow transition, and financially it was easier just to keep things as they are for now. Separating financially is stressful, and neither of us were us for that last year.
