Answer
As salām ʿalaikum wa raḥmatullāhī wa barakātuhū
In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Brother in Islam,
If this is a true reflection of the situation and your statements, “I don’t want you” and “Pack your bags and leave” were not intended as divorce, then divorce will not take place.
Accordingly, your marriage will be intact.
And Allāh Taʿālā knows best.
