Is infidelity grounds for annulment?

[Theresalux]

God has a plan for dating, for married life. There are no regrets doing it as he designed

Also on a side note, it is always so important to constantly court your spouse. That is what my fiancé and I emphasized.

The only way to know with certainty that a given concern is grounds for a decree of nullity is to divorce and apply to the tribunal.

Infidelity might suggest that the commitment to remain faithful was lacking.

I’m not aware that divorce is a sin. The Church recognizes that there are conditions wherein a civil divorce is the only option available, e.g. a case of abuse.

Divorce is objectively a sin but isn’t always subjectively a sin.

It depends on the circumstances, but USUALLY at least one spouse is guilty of the sin of divorce

I may be mistaken, but I thought that annulments could take place if it were proven that the spouse was not true or not committed to the vows they said. Therefore, the act of infidelity being in direct contrast to their vow.

If it could be established that the spouse never intended to be faithful at the time the marriage took place, maybe. If he or she sincerely intended to be faithful and then subsequently messed up, that wouldn’t establish that they were insincere in their initial vow.

We all fail to live up to our intentions all the time, unfortunately. Hopefully not by cheating on our spouses, but like every time we confess we have to intend to not sin in the future. But then, sooner or later, we do, and have to confess again. The flesh is weak.
