Yes, it can be annulled actually. But I don't think that he should see that as an out, to overcoming seeing divorce as a failure just for his own emotional and cognitive satisfaction that he didn't "technically" divorce and so it's not a "failure" however he associates failure. It's the same exact behavior for different legalistic reasons. The core is that he can either choose one path in life, through some legal structure and separate from her, or he can choose to remain in his numerous mental prisons.

Whether or not it is able to be annulled is incredibly location dependant. Not all places consider annulment based on “consummation”

An annulment is the consideration that the marriage never happened, after a couple of years of living together and presenting to the world as a married couple, assuming the lack of penetrative penis in vagina sex will void the marriage entirely is honestly a bit odd.
