Thank you both, I have been researching annulments but to be honest remarriage is the last thing on my mind right now!

I agree it’s not guaranteed but if things don’t improve and we do divorce, I will be seeking an annulment.

Thank you all for your comments. You have eased a great burden. I will keep trying to seek spiritual advice and keep praying. He only gives us as much as we can bear and this is all part of His plan…
 
am also struggling with the fact that I made my vows genuinely, that I signed up for better or for worse… but at what point does the definition of “worse” end? Or does it?
I can see how you are struggling with this. The definition of worse doesn’t really have a limit unfortunately. But you are not obliged to stay in a situation where you are being hurt or abused. Even though you may be validly married, the Church allows for separation in some cases.
 
Praying for your wellbeing.

I have a hunch that your husband is a narcissist who feels entitled to cheat on you. It’s doubtful that he will change and probably feels that any sign of forgiveness on your part is a weakness and he will feel even more entitled to cheat on you again.
 
Thank you for your comments both of you, you don’t know how much this thread has helped Please keep praying for me, it’s still too early to make a major decision on the marriage, but for now I’ve moved out to give myself time to heal and figure out the next steps.

Although I haven’t given details of all his misdemeanors, the fact that you’ve all “taken my side” (albeit only knowing my side of the story) gives me great comfort.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
