Does the statement "I do not want to speak with you again" constitute a kinaya (allusion) of divorce, and does anything result from it, especially since the speaker suffers from obsessive thoughts about divorce, and intended merely not to speak, while knowing that a kinaya of divorce takes effect in anger without the need for intention?
The one afflicted with obsessive doubts (al-waswās) does not incur divorce, even if he utters clear words of divorce or their allusions. It is obligatory not to pay attention to these obsessive whispers, but rather to repel them, seek refuge in Allah from Satan, and frequently engage in the remembrance of Allah and lawful ruqyah.
