Community Property State When one spouse lives in a non-community property State

My spouse and I married earlier this year, I live in Texas (a community property state) and he lives in Hawaii (non-community property state).  We did not live together at all during the year.  Do I still need to allocate half of his wages on my tax return as community income?  Since his state doesn't require it he won't do the same, so I am a bit confused. 

any thoughts?
