Even when I think I'm doing well, the pain comes back so raw

I finally called to deal with my oldest credit card.  It was an account I opened up around the time I graduated high school.  I still remember my first purchase.  At some point early in our marriage, I added my ex-husband as a secondary account holder to that credit card.  I don't know why he was added as a secondary account holder vs an authorized user.  Maybe to help us get a higher credit limit.  But that decision I made early on in our marriage meant that he could never be removed from the account.  So today my only option was to close the account completely.

And I so I sit here with tears running down my face.  The emotion feels so raw.  I feel right back in the middle of some of the worst of my grieving.  I trusted him.  How could he betray that trust?
