Is the husband's saying to his wife: "O Lord, relieve me of you, even if it is through divorce," when he did not intend direct divorce, considered an explicit divorce?

Divorce does not occur with the saying, "O Allah, relieve me of her, even if by divorce," because it is not among the explicit pronouncements of divorce. Nor does divorce occur with an allusive expression unless the husband intends it.
