This question is illogical by definition. "Spouse" implies that you are already married. There isn't a problem with being baptized; baptizm and marriage have nothing to do with each other. However, if you are a Christian and you are having extramarital sex, that is a problem. 1 Corinthians 5:11 (NKJV) states "But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother" (in other words, a Christian) "who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater…"

Any married person has the option of filing as "Married filing separately" which requires no reporting or signature of the spouse. You can also still file as "Married filing jointly" if you both wish to do so as long as you can get the spouse's signature.
You should probably try to get over it. Unless you wish to disrespect your spouse and leave her for another person, and injure your reputation, you should stay with your spouse.
If you wish to be a Catholic, yes you will need to be baptized, unless you have received a valid baptism elsewhere.

Not 100% sure on this, but the answer is No, since the Catholic Church recognizes the non-Catholic marriage as valid. That previous marriage would have to go through an annulment process.Roman Catholic AnswerThe above answer is correct. The question is whether your first marriage is valid. If it is valid, then you may not marry again as long as your spouse is alive. An annulment is a decree that no valid marriage ever existed. If you and your spouse are both baptized, then, in all probability your first marriage would be valid, even if it wasn't in Church as a valid marriage is contracted by two Christians who are not Catholic. If one of you has been baptized, then there would probably not be a valid marriage. In any case you still need to have it examined. I believe, however, that if you have not be baptised at all, and wish to convert and be baptized, then there is the Pauline privilege which would allow you to be married in the Church.
There is no limit to the number of times you can be married in the United States. However, the law in every state is that you can only be married to one person at a time. If you wish to remarry, you must obtain a divorce from your present spouse. Any subsequent marriage would be invalid if you have not obtained a divorce.
Not all gays do wish to get married but I think that those who do want to get married just wish to have access to all the same opportunities as heterosexuals, including marriage. Marriage does guarantee the spouse certain rights as far as inheritance, property ownership and burial are concerned.
No, correctly you would say you "wish you had gotten married".
