Is a person considered to be suffering from obsessive thoughts, and does his divorce take effect if he utters it without will or intention, especially with the abundance of phrases that his mind interprets as allusions to divorce, and his suffering from the behavior of linking events to the future?

You must ignore the كنايات (allusive terms) of divorce and speak as you wish, using what has not been forbidden and is not explicit about divorce. What you feel within yourself, for example, when a car moves, does not harm you, provided it does not prevent you from what you are about to do. Divorce does not occur if the explicit wording precedes the tongue unintentionally, and the divorce of one who is suffering from obsessive thoughts does not occur if he speaks it while not intending it.
