Question

If I say "we are done" or "its over" does that count as talaaq? I got upset and said it.

Also, I stayed away from her and didn't see her unless she started to wear hijab, is that permissible?

Answer

If talaaq was intended then talaaq will take place.

Yes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
