I can understand some of the doubts that could originate from what I put in the original post. It is often very difficult to analyze or judge well without all of the facts. As I stated in the original post, there are many "third party factors" (and even direct factors) that I don't think proper to expose to public view, which have led to the idea of ending the marriage but conserving the temple sealing. To say the least, I have talked with the temple presidency, bishop of my ward, and even a psychologist(member of the church) that believes this to be a very rare case. As for the question, I thank those that have given an answer, and for the input of others. I asked the question because I still have hope... we had moments of happiness. It's hard to explain and I wouldn't expect anyone to fully understand. I guess for now it'll just be put it into God's hands, continue with what we think is the best solution(not just for myself but for my wife also), and let God's will be done.

My wife and I married about 5 months ago after going through a long distance relationship. We were sealed in the temple for time and eternity. Unfortunately due to a lot of third party factors that I will not take the time to mention, and due to her mental instability (she is either bipolar depressive or has extreme mood disorder) our marriage has not been able to be very fulfilling or even happy. I felt as though I was being dragged down and becoming mentally and emotionally ill. We recently separated and are now considering annulling the marriage, taking into consideration what would be best for both of us and our potential future children and the generations to come. (Please understand that I never intended it to end like this, and before coming to this conclusion I wanted to be able say to myself as it says in Jacob 5, "What more could I have done?") I know that we still love each other very much and that we have always had desires to be happy together and have a family together... It is NOT the case that one of us has been unfaithful or broken a serious commandment. My question is: If we annul our marriage can we still keep our temple sealing? I would like to think that we could be with each other in the next life and have a happy marriage there without all of the difficulties that have made it almost impossible here in this life. Would it be possible to marry and seal myself to someone else in this life even while my first wife is still alive? ... and then have both of them in the next life? Any input and answer is welcomed. Thanks.
