I can't say what is supposed to happen in the bedroom but it should never involve being forced to do something even if it's by your husband. The things you're describing
are abuse. Your husband has no legal right to force you to have sex. Straight out...no it is not normal and you don't have to accept it.
Emotional abuse and physical or emotional intimidation are not grey areas. You will need a lot of moral support to remove yourself from this situation.
People to help you understand the games your husband is playing with you. I'm sure there are people here who could help with that. A good therapist might also help you to understand the position you're in.
