Nah, I don't think you're being cynical, as that's exactly what she does--claim to love Rhys and then sleep with Owen at the first opportunity. And then keeps on doing it. It just doesn't jibe with her supposed role as "the heart of Torchwood" and a "carer". If they'd set her up to be an uncaring cad (sort of like a female Owen) running around while she had a perfectly nice guy at home, that'd be one thing. (I could totally see Suzie doing this, for example.) But that's not how it's presented and I think that's why it rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
Yeah, alright, maybe I'm a little cynical too. :-p
