"Don't be naive. There are difficult times
ahead. As the end approaches, people are going to be
self-absorbed, money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane,
contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse, dog-eat-dog, unbending,
slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, treacherous,
ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to
God. They'll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes
they're animals. Stay clear of these people." (2 Timothy 3:1-5, The Message)
Hello. I'm Dave and I'm sharing my true story how I
was duped by Linda Lobo. Our marriage was over in 24 days but we
continued live together for 71 days. Linda was previously married three
other times to Ronald, Dale and Dennis. Linda also dated two other men
before me, Lance and Randy. Linda was engaged to Randy before she
married Dennis. From what little information I've been able to gather,
it appears Linda duped them as well. I was also duped by a woman
claiming to be an attorney. She is now in state prison after a business
acquaintance and I conducted an investigation and I filed a 17 page
report to the local police. And considering what I've discovered about
Linda and the alleged criminal activities she has committed, she could be
next.
I am in no way proud to publish this information. This ordeal revealed
I'm human, how naïve I was and the stupidity that occurs when you are
blindsided, painfully heart broken and verbally abused. As much as I
thought I was doing the right thing and trying to be the husband I knew
to be and being the trusting individual I normally was, I was duped in
the process with a financial loss of over $90,000.00. I don't know if
Linda preplanned her actions or just realized an opportunity to take
advantage of me. Or maybe Linda's daughter is correct in saying her Mom
is a "known crazy ass mom" and she didn't have a clue as to what
she was doing to me. You can develop your own opinion. If Linda ever takes
time to read this Website and wishes to respond, I will gladly publish
her response letter or she can add her comments to my story blog.
Granted, they're always two sides of a story. I admit there were
some things I said and did that were wrong and I'm very sorry
for. I can honestly say though, Linda brought out a personality
that I never had before. I was very happily
married to Terri for 24+ years and would have remained so if it weren't for
her death. The attitude I developed towards Linda and things I
said to her I never did to Terri. As I looked back, it's hard to
comprehend how quickly I allowed someone to alter my personality
like that. A close friend told me after I left Linda that you
can’t put a sheep in the pin with a wolf. (Of course he was
referring to me as the sheep.) Ironically, he did not know
Linda’s maiden name and its translation. Frankly, reflecting
back, she attacked my manhood, my masculinity and my headship.
My warrior’s heart just went into survival mode. I hope you will
take time to read my short story blog, "Duped Times Two," and then post your comments at end of Part 2.
