Not a surprise it was refused with 3 reasons against you. Tourist visa's are very strict as it has been heavily abused with people either working when here or wandering off . Over the years more than 80% of those that apply that I know of have been refused.

The UKBA can also see that you will eventually apply for a Spouse/Marriage visa once you are all sorted with the annulment, and that is what you should concentrate on. Refusal of a visit visa will have no effect on the Spouse/Marriage visa as long as you tick all the boxes.
