There is a guy who has destroyed my life and now I am trying to pick up the pieces. I face hurdle after hurdle and its wearing me down. I knew him in high school, after graduation he left town and I thought good riddance, since he was pretty toxic back then.

Fast forward 25 years when he comes back to town and moves in with his mommy after his ex kicked him out for cheating and abuse. I found out about the abuse later. My wife soon cheats on me with him, and I find out that they had been making plans for years but were never able to act on them. I do some digging and find out he has a history of destroying relationships, manipulating women with poor self esteem, getting them to cheat and then cheating on and leaving them.

But my situation was worse. He not only got me kicked out of my own house, he immediately moved in and began abusing her over the course of six months. There were a few times he even drove her around town drinking and driving. Or flirting with underage girls. Real disgusting stuff. He actually bragged to someone that he was getting revenge for something I did in High School, the only thing I did was not go along with some shitty plan of his to ostracize a friend.

I later came around to get some of my things and found the house almost destroyed. Holes punched into walls, entire walls torn down, shattered glass everywhere. My tv smashed. The worst was his fedora hanging casually off my chair. I threw it in the dumpster...

He has threatened me, gloated about stealing my wife, tried calling me acting buddy buddy after the fact(wtf), has mentioned to others that he will kill me for shits and giggles.

I think by now you get the picture.

Now my wife is leaving me for him. It's a bittersweet event. Im finally free from her abuse, so I don't need to get back together with her, ever. But him, I guarantee he feels like he wins, that he's beaten me at some game I never knew we were playing nor knew the rules to. People keep telling me karma will get him, but its been six years. I can wait no longer.

I don't know what to do or even what to ask for. What are my options? I'd like to completely destroy him, but dont want any legal complications. I really wish that all his misdeeds would come back to bite him in the ass. I can't let this go, I've tried. He just needs a tip in the right direction for everything to fall apart.

I hope someone can help me.
