Sounds like you are married legally. Ask your local lawyer if there are any loop holes for you but legal marriage probably means you have to seek a real divorce now if you want out.

Why do you want out of it now?

The US recognizes all marriages that were legally done in any other country. Therefore, if you were legally married in the Bahamas, the US recognizes your marriage as being legal.
