Angry

I have been married for over 8 months. My husband and I have not had sex during our marriage. He used false pretenses to get me to marry quickly. He did this by telling me that he had been offered a promotion for the company that he worked for for over 30 years. This involved me quiting my job so that we could relocate. He had told me that this promotion involved a raise from $13.50 per hour plus bonus to $50K plus. We got married, I quit my job making $13.50 per hour. He first told me that the date got changed. Over time I found out that he was making only $6.50 per hour, had only been with this company for over one year and there never was a promotion.
He also neglected to tell me of his imputency, lied about alcoholism (he is one) and lied about numerous things. The man that I dated is NOT the man that I married. I believe that this was done with intent as he has commented "I'm not the same man that you dated am I?". He now fully admits to most of the lies.
As a result of the work/promotion lie I have had to take a job making only $5.75 an hour until something better comes along.
I definately want to leave as soon as I have somewhere to go. But I need to know a few things.
He had NOTHING when I married him. I owned all the household items, TV, Computer, everything (his posessions were another lie, he had noting. What he did have was his mothers). I don't believe that he should get anything and should be left with what he had prior to the marriage, nothing. Will he be intitled to half of everything?
Given the circumstances would an annulment be appropiate rather than a divorce?
Also, given the lies, would it be possible for me to sue him for the difference that I suffer in income? and/or pain and suffering? I spent the first couple of months in a deep depression after I had discovered the lies and could barely even get out of bed.
I am in a awful situation at this time and there is even more to it. However I MUST get out of this marriage. Any help would be appreciated.
