Cersei is a horrible person, raised by an amoral father and Robert was a broken, alcoholic man with rage issues. Their marriage was anything but happy on both sides, no one denies that.

That doesn't absolve either of them from their horrible behavior.
He knew what he was doing, Cersei notes that he often apologized when he sobered. Asking for an annulment would have been a much better solution.

I admit I don't know much about everything to do with this, but would Cersei ever have given up what power she had as queen? Bastard or not, she wanted her son on the throne after Robert.

Asking for an annulment would have been a much better solution.

If you think that's a viable solution in Westeros, I'm afraid you've kind of missed the point of a lot of the story. A marriage is a contract, more political than personal; and unhappy arraigned marriages and broken contracts are a huge ongoing theme.

Robert's Rebellion was ostensibly over Aerys's madness, but also over Rhaegar/Lyanna because it was breaking her betrothal to Robert.

And then the whole War of Five Kings indirectly descends from Lysa Tully's bad marriage to Jon Arryn. Lysa and Littlefinger blame the Lannisters for Jon's murder; which incites Ned to investigate Jon's discovery of Cersei/Jaime, and Catelyn to capture Tyrion.

If the culture allowed for easy annulment/divorce, that would strongly affect the political aspect of the marriage, and the alliance of the Houses being joined through heirs. Almost every major conflict traces back to a marriage or a contract of some kind; in my opinion, it's one of the most successful aspects of the series.
