Here at Lovefraud, we’ve heard thousands of horror stories of marriages to sociopaths. Thinking about these unfortunate involvements, it seems to me that there are three types of romantic relationships with sociopaths. I call them the Marriage Masks, and they are:
1. Calculated exploitation
The sociopath targets an individual for the explicit purpose of exploiting him or her, using the unsuspecting partner for money, sex, a place to live or something else that the sociopath wants.
My ex-husband, James Montgomery, targeted me because I had what he wanted: money, good credit, my own home and business connections in the city where he decided he was going to make a fortune. He sweet talked me, married me and drained me, and then he moved on without a thought.
Now, it’s easier than ever to find what Lovefraud has to offer you! Check out our new home pages:

Cassandra Bjorge
Wendy and Randall Bjorge, both 63, won custody of their granddaughter, Cassandra, 17, last year. The teenager lived with them in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
But Cassandra said she “had basically had enough.” So she and her boyfriend, Johnny Rider, 18, allegedly murdered them.
After the grandparents had gone to bed, they broke into the house, bludgeoned them and slit their throats.
Teen couple invited friends over to smoke weed and party after murdering girlfriend’s grandparents and hiding their bodies in the house, on DailyMail.co.uk.
Cedric Anderson and Karen Smith.
Cedric Anderson and Karen Smith, both 53, married on January 28, 2017, in Los Angeles, California. A month ago, Karen left him.
Monday, April 10, Anderson walked into the San Bernardino elementary school where Karen was a special needs teacher. He shot Karen, killing her and an eight-year-old boy standing behind her. Another boy was injured. Then Anderson killed himself.
“She thought he had a wonderful husband, but she found out he was not wonderful at all. He had other motives,” said Irma Sykes, Karen’s mother, according to the Daily Mail.
Lasse Hartmann (Police photo)
A British food blogger, Adanma Wokoh, thought she found her soul mate.
Her fiancé, Lars Patreus, was a multi-millionaire wine trader, formerly active in Danish Special Forces, and had provided mental coaching to the elite runner, Usain Bolt.
Actually, he was a Danish con man, Lasse Hartmann, who had recently been released from prison for scamming his own father.
Hartmann was convicted of 22 counts of fraud in Snaresbrook Crown Court in the United Kingdom. He will be sentenced on April 28.

Tiffany Li (San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department)
Tiffany Li, 31, of Hillsborough, California, is charged in a murder-for-hire scheme in the death of Keith Green, 27, the father of their two young daughters.
Li was released from jail yesterday after posting an unprecedented $35 million in bail. Li comes from a wealthy Chinese family, and her mother, along with family friends and associates, raised $4 million in cash and pledged 15 properties valued at $62 million. (In California, twice the bail amount must be met if property is used in lieu of cash.)
Li and Green were in a custody dispute. Friends of Green said he feared for his life.

Chapter 43A: No Way Out
Sophisticated readers of the Wall Street Journal beware: You can be conned, just like the rest of us.
The following article, by Susan Pinker, appeared in last weekend’s edition:
You can’t be fooled by a con? Don’t count on it, on WSJ.com.
The Journal doesn’t provide articles for free, so I’ll provide a summary of key points:
