NM, I posted on your other thread. You sound good here.
As far as NC, see what your DB C says. But I can tell you how it is for you. When you are NC, your spouse is not forefront in your mind. You are forced to start building a new life without them. You stop watching the tiniest actions and you disentangle from them. Also, your anger starts to drain away.
For me, it was good and helpful. Don't know if it is right in your situation.
