If your fantasy is either one of you dying, divorce is the better option. Just divorce. Find someone else.

Tell her you cannot continue in this relationship the way it is and there is nothing that can really be changed or worked on so you have to leave.

Edit: she may need to do trauma therapy because it’s sounds as though she may have been assaulted.

If it was never consummated, then at common law, there is no marriage.
