Are the two phrases: (Your Lord spreads out for you of His mercy) and (O Allah, replace her with someone better for me, and replace me with someone better for her) a euphemism for divorce?
The rule regarding allusive divorce pronouncements (kinayat al-) is that any word that could mean divorce or something else, and closely suggests separation, and is not commonly used for divorce either religiously or customarily, falls into this category. Divorce does not occur with these allusive pronouncements except under two conditions: the intention of divorce, and that the wording indicates it either religiously or customarily.
The phrase "Your Lord will unfold for you of His mercy" is not an allusive divorce pronouncement because it does not indicate divorce. However, the phrase "O Allah, replace her with someone better for me, and replace me with someone better for her" is considered an allusive divorce pronouncement, and divorce occurs with it if the husband intends it; otherwise, it does not.
