I can relate to this. Except I’m 15+ years and 2 kids into the marriage. It’s tough, but kids make it difficult to entertain exiting the relationship. Every single day is a conscience decision to love my spouse, regardless of feelings. What keeps me going is trying to view my spouse through the Lord’s eyes. My job is to love my SO. I can’t control how they respond or feel. That’s God’s job to deal with.
Marriage counseling is def a good place to start.
What triggered your spouse to say that? Was it in the heat of an argument? Or was it something else? Curious why this person dated you, cared enough to want to be engaged to you and eventually marry you, if they are suddenly saying these things?
Sometimes we fall into the trap of relying on emotions only to guide our decisions esp in marriage. When you’re only seeking passion, you will forget that will fade very easily; marriage is hard work and is all about making an active choice every moment to love your spouse and to be with them forever. So again, I recommend counseling to get to the root of the issue (ideally a Christian counselor if you have one available in your area), but in the end you both have to be willing to make the choices to actively love each other.
That’s messed up, it was definitely on them to let you know, the question is whether your marriage in a way is valid in the first place since it was built on a lie/misinformation before it started. I don’t want to give you advice specially that will go against Christian values so I’ll just leave the video below which is from a pastor named Mike Winger. I can give my endorsement of him as one of the most biblical and no nonsense follower of Christ pastors I know, he is not a progressive or new age Christian and everything he preaches and advice he gives is from the Bible and ensuring it follows God

Given what you've described, I would say divorce is the appropriate solution. Do not make the mistake of having kids with this person.
Perhaps if it’s early an annulment?
Don’t make any quick decisions, definitely don’t get pregnant.
Take you time with any decision you make and best of luck
Reading books like “the power of a praying husband/wife” may help. Sorry to hear about your situation. Sincere prayer and humility may be the answer.
Prayer for God to send his harvesting angels to help you and your spouse talk through the matter and then take your focus off your relationship and focus on understanding Gods will and the era we are in. Read his word and get into a bible study where they are only focusing on helping you understand Gods word so that you can be transformed. Not saying don’t deal with problems but don’t let the burden of your marriage take your focus from Gods will and what he is accomplishing here on this earth. Remember God desires for his “kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”.
I’m guessing your SO a woman? A man would never propose to someone he wasn’t attracted to or in love with. Women sometimes settle for men who love them that they don’t love in the name of security and avoiding heartbreak from assholes. Is there anything you can do to reignite the spark ?
