Heavens I've never seen such a guppy in my life. How do you expect to be a business man fighting everyday in they shark tank when you're such a guppy? What man in his right mind would let a women, ESP his current/ex women destroy his ID, ruin his credit, and send him into homelessness and you are 30?
Hmm... I recall a statistic from the omniscient television that suggests it's usually the men that wind up heart broken and wanting things to work out, no matter how prevalent the stereotype of the crying teenage girl over a tub of Hagandase(I'm not googling the ice cream's name just to spell that right...) ... Hmm. Actually, it's always Hagandase these days... What clever marketing.
What was I on about? Ah yes. Some people can instantly stop giving a shit, but a lot of people don't, or can't instantly rewrite what they feel for someone, even if they turn the world against them. It is literally as hard as forgiving, or deciding "I don't like chocolate."
There's bound to be benefits for that personality trait, but like all traits, ALL traits, it can work against you. So how should he solve this? The same way you solve your chocolate problem. Realize you won't just hate it (unless you are a proverbial master at mental gung-fu), and resolve to say "I don't like my addiction to chocolate. I'm going to move on to a life without chocolate, even if I get pangs of loss or desire. I'll live with it, and fill the void with other things."
Really, what do you expect him to do? Any form of revenge is going to just wind up hurting him. If he gives a shit about this woman, suggesting he do something like destroy her ID, or call the cops, or whatever, is just like saying to someone "Hey, since your daughter got mad at you and flushed your car keys down the toilet, put all her toys in a bucket and burn them!" Yeah. Might "teach the little shit a lesson", but if you can do that without giving yourself the "biggest scumbag of the year" award, stay the hell away from anyone I care about under threat of baseball bat.
Quite frankly, the businessmen are sharks mentality is disgusting. Literally, most people will shrivel up their nose and bare their teeth at that statement. They'll probably get images in their head of shady men in suits with lawyers holding some blackmail material telling your grandpa to close his shop so they can build a new mini-mall.
These borderline mafia types can do whatever the hell they want with their fear pretending to be respect. I'll be far happier with the real respect of people that give a shit about what I do, not who I bury.
Or not getting respect for the same reason, doesn't matter to me.
Of course, I could be misinterpreting you. If you just mean "Don't be a pushover", then Shark is an odd totem animal for this. A predator that swarms helpless fish? Far too aggressive not to see it that way.

No ID? Lie. Make something up, whatever it takes. There's always a way...
Bold advice... Without going into the specifics of why, I agree with it.
