usually the hymen does not need to be *broken* to allow for menstrual flow.
The hymen is located at the vaginal opening not really inside the vagina. Although some people consider the inside of their vagina anything between the outer labia (lips) so in that case i guess yes it could be considered inside the vagina
Usually the hymen has its own opening which is explained by wikipedia under Types of Hymen's - there is a rare type of hymen that is called "imperforate" which wikipedia defines "hymen completely covers vaginal orifice; will require minor surgery if it has not corrected itself by puberty to allow menstrual fluids to escape"

I would suggest google-ing Hymen and looking at the different pictures and such - it would help you understand what is happening and maybe you can learn a few tricks to make sex with the hubby easier or how to care for the torn parts of the hymen better.
