Depends which marriage you're asking about. Henry had three annulments, from his first wife Katherine. Henry had fallen in love with Anne Boleyn. Katherine would not agree to a divorce and the rest as they say is history. The second annulment was from Anne Boleyn. There are several reasons historians give why their marriage broke down; 1) Anne did not give birth to a surviving son, 2) Anne was in her thirties now, moody and sharp tongued, and Henry was falling out of love with her,3) Henry was in love with Jane Seymour,4) Henry was desperate to have a son to avoid the return of the civil wars that tore England apart before Henry's father brought them to an end. The third annulment was from Anne of Cleves. Henry was not attracted to her from their first meeting. He went through with the marriage being encouraged to do so by Thomas Cromwell, (who paid with his life for this). Anne readily agreed to an annulment.
