The answer

Your statement to your wife: "Stop talking to me, it's as if we are two divorced people" does not constitute a divorce; due to its lack of explicit declaration and your lack of intent, therefore, nothing is required of you. It is advised that you both live together with kindness, avoid abuse, and resolve disputes with wisdom, Islamic law, and noble manners.
