Husband saying 'ab to dedi' referring to talaaq

Q: Please help me, I am very worried. My husband was angry at me and just to scare me on messages he said "mai tumy talaq... Type kar doon aagy b" I replied I think hu gya and he said "chlo phir theek hai, ab sab chor dia maine.. hushhh.. tumy b america b". Later I told his sister and he called me and became angry that he didn't divorce me and while he was talking he said two or three times " chalo ab tu hu gaye na talaq" and I am not sure but I think he also said "ab to de di na talaq" just bcoz he was angry with me thinking that he did. Can you please tell if I am divorced or not. We both are very worried? What should we do now? Two days ago I had a dream we were having anal sex and I became worried when I woke up because I know it is haraam. Maybe that dream had to do with this.

A: If you are quite clear that he said 'ab to dedi' referring to talaaq then talaaq has taken place.

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