Is threatening divorce to compel the wife to spend the night at her family's house, or to dissuade her from refusing the husband's wearing of certain clothes, considered a suspended divorce that takes effect if the wife does not fulfill the request, especially if the husband suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder and did not genuinely intend divorce?
What is mentioned in the question is merely a promise and a threat of divorce, and divorce does not occur by that. One must ignore these whisperings and beware of giving in to them. Seek Allah's help and occupy your time with what benefits you in religious and worldly matters. It is recommended to consult the psychological counseling department.
