If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

No, the length of the marriage is not relevant for determining whether or not an annulment will be proper. An annulment is generally only granted when the marriage is considered a fraud or sham such as for an underage person or when it has not been consummated. At this point, you will probably get a divorce unless circumstances exist to show that an annulment is proper.
