Answer 1

I had the same situation. We stayed married for two years. In that time his "friend" moved everywhere we did and lived in the apartment below us for awhile. Never had sex. I would complain for like months then he would have sex with me to shut me up and it would go on like this for like 2 years.
If you are talking a civil annulment I have no idea you would have to consult a lawer right away. To me it wouldn't make much of a difference when it comes to happiness.

Donating money has nothing to do with annulment. It says in the paperwork if you do not have money you don't even need to pay for one.
You need to prove that there was a fundamental problem and that "some key element was missing when the people exchange their vows".

Copied from the Annulment Paperwork:
Grounds for Annulment:
A person is incapable of entering into marriage if he or she suffers from a "grave lack of discretion of judgement concerning essential matrimonial rights and duties which are to be mutually diven and accepted." - usually having to do with a persons maturity, motivation and understanding of marriage. Marriage is not to be seen as a "rite of passage", to escape from home, or a solution to a pregnancy etc.

Incapacity to assume the obligations:
If spouse does not have the psychological capability to assume the role of husband or wife. Usually has to do with a psychological factor that prevents to see the good in spouse, narsasistic factor or mental illness.
Also included in this is other sexual "disorders" lol that make a normal hetero relationship impossible.

Lack of intention:
Marrying without the intention or being faithful, staying married until death, fulfilling marriage promises with reguard to being fruitfull, no intention of parenting.
Includes issues such as marrying for immigration, taxs, getting a child baptised, enrolled in a Catholic school. They exclude something essential to gain something from the status. If a partner refuses or blocks creation of life not fulfilling marriage duties or by using barrier methods.

Other factors granted less frequently:
entering marriage deceived by fraud, being in error about the person you married, condition's on ones consent (if you do this I will marry you or I will only marry you if you are willing to move etc.)

I think you would fall into lack of intention. I would do this if it continued. They are very nice, really, and they understand these situations. They do ask on the paperwork if you consulted with a priest or therapist so I would do that if I were you.

Answer 2

Yet another perfect example of why pre-marital sex is necessary.

Are you talking about a Church annulment or just a legal one?

Legal annulment is regulated with different procedures state by state. Usually it has to be based on a provable fraud, and you have three years from the time the fraud is dicovered.

For the Catholic Church, it all depends on how much money you can donate to the Church. Rich people get annulments after years of marriage and having multiple children together - look at the Kennedys!

Legal annulment is regulated with different procedures state by state.

Answer 3

Not sure how Canadian rules work, but a county clerk would know. call them!

(Fred S.....thats not a civil annulment you are referring to, thats a church annulment. You have to have civil DIVORCE first - then a church annulment and NO you do not have to be rich (been there done that, 20 yrs and two kids)

Answer 4

Sometimes, letting go seems like the easiest thing to do. But think about this: you've invested so much of your time and energy into another person; you've made a solemn promise; and you still know there's love, even if it's hiding underneath the surface.

Answer 5

You will have to contact your county to find out for sure, but usually if your union has not been consummated, that is grounds for annulment. The timing aspect is what you'll need to check.

Good luck!

Answer 6

based on my own experience here in the US, the only way a person can get an annulment is if they can prove that there was deception, ie: saying they were single and were actually married, etc.
you would have to call your local courthouse or a barrister and inquire if u can prove he's gay.

Answer 7

I don't think so. I think you have 6 months to file. But check with your local courthouse. They'll be able to tell you.

Answer 8

I think six months but I am not positive! alot will depend on if you have any property together! Wow only sex for a minute in 5 months did you live together in that 5 months? Why did you get married? WTF???

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

wow you must really know how to please a man
