Is there a better time to get real about the darker side of Valentine's Day, especially for GenXers? Is it all hearts and flowers, or is there more to the story? Things have definitely changed for a few of us since our last romance episode in 2021, but you know that we still have tons of opinions. Gird your loins for some straight-up GenX talk about this Hallmark Holiday and the Vday expectations game.
