Q: Before I ask my question let me explain what happened. Shortly after we got married my husband and I had a fight and he said I am giving you a talaaq. This being the first time he has said we took it it as one talaaq, and we reconciled and carried on. After that we had numerous fights and it got to a point where he said he doesn't want to be with me anymore, he is leaving. Very harsh words towards me. But he did not say that he is giving me another talaaq or divorcing me. A few months passed after that and it has now gotten to a point about two weeks ago, that he said I am giving you a talaaq, and he packed up and left. I have been sitting in iddat since then. My questions are as follows;
1. Does him saying during our fights that he is leaving constitute a second talaaq?
2. Is this talaaq he has given now the 2nd or 3rd talaaq?
3. If it is the 2nd talaaq can we reconcile and does a new nikaah have to made?
4. If it is the 3rd talaaq does he still have a responsibility to me during my iddat period or not, as he has moved out am I obliged to spend my iddat in my current home where I am still staying?
5. Is it permissible for me to go to work during my iddat as he is no longer supporting me, and I have no father or brothers or even uncles to take me in?

Is it halaal? Please advise.
