What’s the History of The Love and Life Antics Blog?
The Love and Life Antics™ blog has an interesting history. As referenced in the featured article post about how what to do when we see signs that something is unhealthy for us, it is a reboot of my former blog.
From July 2013 through 2019, I created and launched Loveantics.com. The blog focused on relationships with EUPs (Emotionally Unavailable Partners) and the painful relationship dynamics of these unhealthy relationships.
EUP ™ is an acronym I coined in 2013. It denotes Emotional Unavailable Partner or Person.
So, if you see the acronym EUP anywhere, that started with me. I wrote one of the first articles about EUPs on loveantics.com in May 2014. (I have the receipts to prove it. Chuckle). See below.
More History…
In 2017, The LA Blog picked up some steam and developed a modest yet loyal following, garnering a local and international readership.
Readers from many places, including Japan and Africa (yes, Africa), would discover the blog on Google, searching for answers about how to heal from the pain of emotionally unavailable relationships.
The pain of my relationships with emotionally unavailable partners brought me to my knees in turmoil.
I decided to do something with my pain. I became a blog writer determined to share my insights to help others cope, and when possible, avoid what I went through.
It was clear to the readers and to me that we are not alone in facing these relationship and life struggles. Emotional Unavailability is a worldwide struggle.

What are Love and Life Antics?
Ten years ago, I sold my real estate in Relationship Shadyville.
I’m happy to report that I’ve been EUP-free for over 10 years now. It took much soul-searching and prayer to break the cycle of pain I was in. I went “through it” and learned to break free.
Hopefully, sharing insights about my former struggles with emotionally unavailable relationships and what worked for me to heal will inspire you to break free from the pain cycle.
Naturally, along with personal growth, the scope of my writing has expanded to explore how becoming emotionally available can help us overcome not just Love Antics™ (i.e. the shifty, deceptive practices and downright foolery inherent to emotionally unavailable relationships), but also the Life Antics™ we encounter.
These are the adversities in life that none of us are immune to. They are tests of sorts filled with life lessons cropping up in all life areas-romance, friendships, family, and careers.
As I share nuggets of wisdom, hope, and inspiration, I hope you find inspiration to become emotionally available to yourself and others.
You can leave the EUPs relationships in the dust and start the healing process.
Becoming emotionally available starts with shifting the focus from the person who won’t love you back to focusing on your own healing.
Welcome to The Love and Life Antics Blog!
Get on board with me. Let’s do our soul work and be free!
Cheers to The Lover Within™!
