What can I do if my husband married me just to obtain citizenship?

My husband and I have been together for 5 years. We met online and married just a few months after knowing each other. My husband told me he was illegally in the US after we had been seeing each other for several months. I moved my whole life and left my family and job behind to move to go with him. He pushed to start his paperwork so we started that process and he got his green card the following year. The marriage has been bumpy and the reason I say that is because I have always felt I was used for his citizenship/green card. Now more than ever. My husband denies he has been untruthful during our marriage. I recently found that he had been on dating websites as well as on Craigslist dating site.

What is your question specifically?  Are you trying to see if you can report this marriage as fraudulent to USCIS?  what remedy are you seeking at this time?  You need to clarify what it is that you would like to do and then you can get a more direct answer.
