    Not sure where you live, but if there is a legal option for you to carry a concealed handgun, you should look into it. I would highly suggest taking a concealed carry / defensive shooting training course and then obtain the proper permit from your local governing body. It may save your life, scary as it may sound now..

    Not only will the restraining order(protection order) be a good idea for a paper trail, also journal any contact. Also talk to your local law enforcement for documentation purposes. Not only does this give you more of a paper trail it will allow them to be familiar with you and your situation and maybe better prepared should heaven forbid something happen. Find out from them what your options are, what your local laws are etc. Educate yourself, your friends, your family. Good Luck!

    Wait you are married, and he knows this and still stalking you?

    Reminds me of this story from a lady in Galveston,Texas. She had a stalker for 2 years and he tried to grab here a couple of times, even though she had a restraining order against him. She finally left here door open one day and he tried to check on her, she emptied a clip on his torso. Extreme solution but she got to walk thanks to Texas law.

    Call the cops. IMMEDIATELY. Let your neighbors etc know about him. Try and get a restraining order. Basically, let as many people as you can know about him and make sure he knows that others know about him. This way he will think many times before doing anything... stupid.

    Stay safe please.

    Everything that has already been said + try to get a picture of him off facebook or something. Then take this picture to your neighbours telling them that he is stalking you, is dangerous and they need to call the police immediately if they see him anywhere near your house. Tell neighbourhood watch as well, if your neighbourhood has it.
    Neighbours are great guards..

    Also let your friends/family know and show them the picture, so they can keep an eye out with you when you are out and about.
