Always a Bridesmaid

Have you ever wondered if the "ick" you get when you're dating someone is actually your gut telling you that something isn't right? In this week's episode, Mal and Mar sit down to discuss ick vs gut and the theory that people break up with their S/O ultimately over something they saw on the first date. They also share how to be happy during Valentine's Day and how to not let those past V-Day's effect your present love life. Enjoy!!
