But he was going to try with someone else... Celeste I. (From the secret documents recovered in Return to Ostagar).
While I may be taking this out of context remember when you first enter Ostagar?
• King Cailan's 'tent guard' mentions (with a persuade check) that recently Cailan and Loghain have been arguing, about Anora.
• Cailan has been engaging with a secret correspondence with Celese I. This correspondance, IIRC, was highly personal, with tender comments from both (but not outright).
• If you recruited Loghain and discover these documents, Loghain is very pissed.
To me at least, it's obvious that Cailan had pretty much given up on Anora (even if he may be the one at 'fault') and wanted perhaps a closer alliance with Orlais. Celeste I seems to be pretty damn intelligent, even crafty, to do herself what it would take her army, to 'conquer' Ferelden by merely inviting its King into her bedchambers. I think it's more than likely that he'd jump her bones too if he got the chance. Hers would have also likely have less backlash. Even if she did it out of a sense of Altruism, the significance of just how long ago (what, a single generation?) the Orlesians were forced out of Ferelden would surely not be lost on the Bannorn.

Everyone takes those RtO letters waaay out of proportion. There is absolutely zero to connotate that Cailan was planning on putting Anora aside to marry Celeste--in fact, we have evidence to the exact opposite. We got letters suggesting that Celene and Cailan were on better terms with each other than anyone thought, and that Cailan was allying with Orlais (something we knew since the beginning).
Whether they were involved romantically, who knows? But he most certainly wasn't going to marry her.
And Loghain is not the King of Rational Reactions. He blows everything way out of proportion, and never once stops looking for an excuse to prove himself right.
