Is This Marriage Really Worth It?

I find your responces really helpful , and here's my story .I have been married to this guy for the past 13 months and am telling you its been like a short trip to hell, my husband has a daughter with his x-wife,which is absolutely ok with me,i don't object it, but does this really mean that they can have long conversations on the phone,that i have to be seeing the woman almost three times a week in my house(not shortly i mean,for 1-2hrs);and sometimes seeing them driving around,just the two of them to accomplish some businesses, which i don't really know and i just don't know if i can trust them.
Above all she attends all the family meetings and celebrations, i always feel really bad having to sit with this woman under the same roof, and as much as am jealous, the feeling of being disrespected surpasses it.
I've talked to my husband concerning this but he is always like,"we are only doing it for the kid and furthermore i want us to be one family:you, her ,the daughter and me"
For heavens sake,i've never dreamt of being a second wife,but i do feel that this is his plan.
Am no longer sexually attracted to him,my entire feelings towards him have changed,and each and every attempt of conversation ends up in arguments.
He calls me names sometimes,He says he can't trust me since i look really nice,and that every time i go to work,school or sometimes just for a stroll or shopping in the city,i get fucked.
I don't have my freedom at all,i can't visit my friends or even talk freely on the phone because he thinks am talking about him,
May be the cultural differences plays a role here since he's white and am black, I've tried everything to make the marriage work but am slowly coming to the end,
Guys,do you really think that there is a future in the marriage, kindly help
No, your marriage cannot work because of the way you are feeling.
I do not understand why you got married in the first place. Not to bring up a racial bais--but the instances of black women marrying white men--have never been successful world wide. Look around you. Or take a survey. It is easier for a "black man" to please a "white" woman--and vice veras, than for a "black woman" to please a "white man" and vice versa--unless you are from Edo State.

---Just Kidding!

But just use your imagination for a minute!

So sister, keep a-stepping and find you a another--and please do not make the same mistake twice!

Thank God you do not have any child by this man. You really would have been miserable exponentially speaking--to the higest power!!!!
Please get out fast! I frankly do not understand the type of orientation you have whereby you definitely have missed the first lessons of maintaining a successful marriage------
NEVER GO OR STAY WHERE YOU ARE NOT WANTED!Honey, when you see the hand writing on the wall--please do not ask "who wrote it"! The wisest thing to do is the
"READ THE MESSAGE"!In this case you have read the messages and you recognize the hand writings on the wall. So what is your problem?

No body is worth that kind of attention from you. So get a-stepping I say and learn to put your own happiness first! This dude has decided that his ex-wife beat you hands down---in several areas. It is only a matter of time before this dude leaves you. Unless he is plotting to kill you for insurance money with his ex-wifey! White people do not hang around people for nothing--so be very careful/ Go watch you some forensic science clips!

I say move! And move fast if you love yourself. And please learn to recognize when you are needy as opposed to when you are in love! Might just cost you your life.
Needy--getting in a relationship for the wrong reasons
Being in love--getting in a relationship for the right reasons!
Nothing in between!
