If I got married last year but my husband and Inever consummated our marriage or lived together, am I able to annul the marriage?

I am a Muslim and got married to a Muslim. He and his parents both said within a month they would purchase a place for us to live together. This happened 10 months ago. A month after we got married he pushed it off about 6 months. When that time then came they pushed it off for another 4 months. It is now 2 months later and we have never lived together; we never consummated the marriage (I am still a virgin). He lives in one state and I moved with my parents to another state. The only communication we had since being married was over the phone.
