Once he has filled a joint return you can’t file a separate one.
I paid for federal and state - TurboTax let me file as "married filed jointly."
Should I just not fix the "error" and consider my taxes filed by him? I'm guessing the issue is that when he filed "married filed jointly" he should have just submitted that - not submitted and entirely second "married filled jointly" with me as the primary?
Correct. You can only file one joint return.
Did he include all you income on the Joint return that went through? A joint return is one return combined for the both of you. Just ignore your return and account. Use his going forward. You can try to get a refund for the Turbo Tax fees on your account.

for married filing jointly only 1 return is submitted. It's supposed to report the income of both spouses.
If that's what he did, then nothing needs to be done. Your return was rejected so you don't need to do anything.
***************;
If he didn't include your income, that's a problem. Likely his return will not be fully processed because of your missing income.
see this link for filing an amended return ASAP to avoid penalties and interest for late filing and payment if taxes are owed.

if the intent was not to file jointly, his return was well as yours would need to be married filing separately.
bith must itemize or use the standard deduction. Combined taxes on 2 MFS returns will likely result in higher total taxes than 1 MFJ return.
