The answer

The phrases mentioned are not among the pronouncements of divorce, so divorce does not occur by them even if intended. Furthermore, the divorce of a person afflicted by obsessive whispers (waswas) to this extent does not occur, even if he utters clear pronouncements of divorce. Therefore, one must turn away from these whispers and not pay them any mind.
