If I have been married for 5 months and now want a divorce because my husband found out that I cheated on him with another woman, what are the options?

I cheated on my husband with a woman and we now want to get divorced. I’m unsure if an annulment or divorce is the best option and can either of these be done without a lawyer? We have no assets or children to take into account.
