The answer

Your statement to your wife: "It is over" is among the allusions to divorce. The matter depends on your intention. What you intended was a promise of divorce and a determination to carry it out in the future after she becomes pure from menstruation. This does not effect a divorce. Since you swore an oath to that, if your wife becomes pure, do not divorce her, and you must pay an expiation for breaking an oath (kaffarat ).
