It really is all about your preference.  There is no right or wrong answer.  Typically most people see the shower as a girl thing.  Some guys show up at the end to say hello/thank you and help with gifts.  And some people have coed showers that both men/women are invited so both of you attend. 

It's up to you and the person planning your shower.

The FI showed up at the end of most of the showers that I've been too.  I guess it's just your personal preference.

He can attend if you want him to.

I threw a shower where the groom showed up at the end.  That was his and the bride's preference.

H wanted nothing to do with my shower(s).  He thought it was girl time and way to estrogen-laden for his taste.  I didn't disagree.

I don't think that it is ever really "expected", at least in my circles. Some people do joint showers, but typically they are for women.

Bridal Shower = Bride
Wedding Shower = Couple

Like PP said, it's your choice. My neighbor threw me a shower and asked if I wanted girls only or co ed, and I said I wanted co ed because I wanted my FI to be there for a couple of resons. 1) He is my best friend and I would not want to go to a party that he didnt go to. 2) I wanted him to meet all my neighbors and friends. It ended up being a "couples party" and it was so fun! Perfect shower for us! My dad was not too happy about having to go to a shower, but he got over it haha. So, its up to you and your fiance.
