Welcome to the Sunday Edition of Love, Lies & Scandals
(Yes, the homepage actually refreshes every Sunday- unlike my love life, which hasn’t refreshed since 2019!)
Every week, I promise myself a quiet weekend of self-care and good decisions.
Every Sunday night, I end up with new blog posts, too much caffeine, and a growing suspicion that introspection might be a contact sport.
This week’s lineup covers everything from emotional makeovers to the art of surviving awkward truths — basically, cardio for your soul with a side of sarcasm. Whether you’re here for self-improvement, relationship autopsies, or to see if I finally apologized to my ex (spoiler: no), there’s something for everyone.
So grab your comfort drink of choice, pretend you’re emotionally stable, and dive into this week’s stories. New content drops every week, new confessions every day, and possibly one or two questionable affiliate links I definitely stand by.
💬Like, share, or tell me which post hit a little too close to home.

“I’m not saying I’ve given up on love—I’m just on an extended commercial break to rethink my target audience.”

The Cynical Romantic
Love isn’t logical—but it is full of energy. In “Love in the Time of Einstein,” The Cynical Romantic puts E=mc² under the microscope (and maybe a wine glass) to explain why relationships combust, collapse, and occasionally defy gravity. From IKEA-induced meltdowns to passion that burns hotter than a Bunsen flame, this witty breakdown of Einstein’s most famous equation proves that love and physics share one inconvenient truth: both can blow up without warning. If you’ve ever lost track of time with someone—or endured a breakup that felt like a small nuclear event—this one’s for you. Equal parts humor, heartbreak, and half-baked science, it’s your cosmic permission slip to stop trying to “balance” love’s equation and start laughing at its chaos.

Do Better. Be Better.
Love, Lies & Scandals is where romance meets reality—with a stiff drink and a side of self-awareness. In When Cupid Meets the Chemistry Set, The Cynical Romantic explores what happens when ADHD, OCD, and celebrity drama collide in the great social experiment we call love. From Howie Mandel’s handshake ban to David Beckham’s color-coded closets, this post reminds us that even the polished and famous are gloriously neurodivergent messes. You’ll laugh, cringe, and maybe recognize yourself in the reflection of someone else’s chaos. Because whether you’re impulsively texting your ex or alphabetizing their cereal boxes, the truth remains: love is equal parts science experiment and dumpster fire. Pull up a chair, grab a donut, and let’s overthink this together.
Only by doing better will you be better. Catch on past blog post on emotional, physical and mental issues and how yours truly-The Cynical Romantic- faces these issues. Therapy, Research and Wine. Not in that order!
Love Gone Wrong
Attorney Cheryl Keeton fought for her children, documented her fears, and stood against intimidation.
Her careful notes would later become the key to convicting her killer, Bradly Cunningham.
Even in death, Cheryl’s voice spoke for every woman who feared she wouldn’t be believed.
The Love Gone Wrong blog posts, remind us that love can’t be blind. Be diligent, self-aware and trust that flicker of a thought that might be a quiet warning.
