Anger does not prevent the enforcement of divorce as long as the person is aware of what he is saying and is not overwhelmed by his emotions, because a legally responsible individual is held accountable for what he utters while angry. Therefore, if an explicit divorce is issued by the husband while he is aware and not overwhelmed by his emotions, his divorce takes effect. If he has only divorced his wife these two times, he may take her back before her (waiting period) expires.
