I Love A Mama’s Boy - General Discussion

[the-grey-lady]

What makes me saddest about this show is how desperate the women are to get a ring like that will solve all of their problem – or any of them. Ladies, these men are showing you exactly who they are. Believe them.

[EtheltoTillie]

This has become such a fake show, except for Nancy/Robert/Kristy and Evan/Leyna/Esther.   Matt/Kelly is not fake so much as theatrical.  I keep watching them for the laughs.

I thought in season 1 that the Emily/Shekeb story had some truth to it, but now not at all.

The Tre/Abby story is completely fake, apparently--they weren't even together anymore.  I fast forward.  Boring.

Nancy/Robert/Kristy is just scary, but I watch in horror.

Evan and his mom are cringey--but I think real.  I feel bad for the bride.

Exactly!  So unbelievably desperate! These women are staying mostly because they put so much time into these guys and I think that NOW is the time for them to leave these mommy's boys and start over.  To quote the lyrics of the late Kenny Rogers "You've got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em', know when to walk away, and know when to run!" 🏃‍♀️🥀 👵🦜

It's unfortunate that Matt doesn't realize what a GREAT TIME...great life he would have if he just admitted to himself and Mommie Dearest that he's GAY!  He can have a great social life: clubs, parties, dinners.  FRIENDS!  True friends!!!  He would have a great support system.  He doesn't know what he's missing by tethered to UNO WHO's bra straps.

This is a great gig for him and Mommy though- being on TV, pretending to want to date women, and getting perverse pleasure out of mistreating them. They have nothing to lose; more shopping and massage money for them!  Even the "girlfriends" are likely in on it- "hey, want to play my beard for a few extra bucks? And you can be on TV!" Win, win, win! For all we know Matt is out there shagging guys as we speak when the cameramen go home, and laughing all the way to the bank.

I don't know if the perverse pleasure would be enough to warrant the ridicule...but that's just me.

I picture any shagged guys as telling their friends they have "proof," and also laughing at Matt AND especially Kelly--just no bank involved.

Robert’s mom needs to fuck the hell OFF. Piece of trash. She literally saying 99.9% ain’t 100%. GTFO.

Nancy is a terrible mother and a horrible grandmother. She doesn’t deserve them in her life. She’s disrespecting her son’s daughter, who is her granddaughter, and she expects her son to take her wacky side? She’s not right in the head. She’s so vile. And her other derpy son sits there and encourages her behavior.

The preview for next week just had me screaming at my TV! Matt running away from Brittany and her calling him a “pussy ass prima-donna”! I cannot wait.

Shakeb’s acting is getting worse.

I am re-watching the "home-cooked" dinner fiasco that Emily tried to pull off.

Emily, please listen to me. If you continue to fight for this so-called "relationship" with Shakeeeb, here is your future. You will wake up next to a man whose gut is so large you will have to hoist it up for him to put on a belt and fasten it. His nose will be flopping all over his face, all the while expecting you to treat him as the hottest "king" ever (after all, mommy says so!). Regret is the most bitter pill to swallow. Spit it up while you can and ghost him with all you got girlfriend.

Not to mention the "fragrances" he chooses, including his "most personal" hygiene.  Emily, you're not a good actress.  We and TLC can't understand how you were hired.  If you can't find a better paycheck, you'll be humiliating yourself until your episodes are canceled.

Wow, this season ender was something else. 

SPOILER ALERT (I watched on Discovery+).

1)  The wedding is off for Ethan and Leyna.  Relieved for her.  He acted like an ass, and his mother was appalling.  They insisted Leyna cut her guest list and refused to stop flirting--it's their "thing."  They say they were "postponing" the wedding because of Ethan's dead cat.  Sure.  (Also, Ethan slipped and said things like it was his mother's wedding.)

2)  Emily and Shekeb and Laila had a fake fight where Emily growled like a character from the  Exorcist.  Relationship over.

3) Robert and Kristy not seeing Nancy.  Good for him!

4) Matt revealed his new girlfriend Devon.  Kelly is upset!

5) No Tre and Abby and Lorenda this week.

Were you watching a rerun of the last series ?

[EtheltoTillie]

Additional  notes from the Ethan/Leyna story:  they brought in a younger brother who lives in Nashville.  Mom tried to enlist him in the drama but he was all "leave me out of it." 

Matt and Brittney's last meeting was weird and staged, but he still comes off as a narcissistic tool.

[My Girls]

Unpopular opinion I'm sure, but Brittany looked like a fool with her big blow up.  Matt is who he is, but her reactions were pretty juvenile.  The guy was a creep, no need to retaliate with tit-for-tat; dump him and move on.  But then, I'm not  20 anymore and don't react like a teenager.

[JeanJean]

Wow, Leila is traumatized by kleenex!!!!!! No wonder Shakeeb is such a wuss. Emily, find someone better, you deserve that.

Reacting like that with a brat like Matt is just letting him be able to think you're crazy. She should have just been very cool towards him.

[Maisiesmom]

Brittany has pretty hair. Too bad she acted the fool when confronting gay Matt who ran away like a little boy.His new "love" Devon says she has no problem with this mom yeah right she hasn't even met her yet but Kelly "disapproves" . Of course she does!! Thank god the wedding has been "postponed" for Leyna and her grieving fiancee and controlling mother. Because the cute "support" kitty died. What a crock of shit. I hope Robert and Kristy have a chance-I would like to see them make it. As far as Emily and asshole go, I knew he would move back home. He has the worst ideas as to how to make things work out- and Emily once again did not help. Instead she is too confronting, throws tissues around and acting the fool. O gee I have been dating him for 4 years what do I do now? Start over and grow up, Missy, that's what you do. Mid 30s is not too old to find someone else.  This season went too fast for me. But it was entertaining and I thank god I don't have to deal with shit like that!

Oh, they said that, but I don't believe it.  I don't think this wedding will actually happen.  At least I hope not.  I think this gives them enough pause to walk away.

Ethan claimed it was a certified emotional support cat.  And some people are really laid low by the death of a pet.   Unfortunately, they have already displayed so much problem behavior without anyone ever mentioning this cat, none of what they say is believable. 

[Madding crowd]

Ethan has a weird flat affect and since he wears tinted glasses, you can never see his eyes. He seems to have no regard for his fiancée’s wishes and wants to play baby with his mom. I would never marry someone like that. Glad to see Robert is sticking up for his family. The other mama’s boys will never get married and live with their moms until the moms die.

I thought the same thing! Especially when he made fun of her cowgirl boots and said, "Go write a country song!" and dramatically flicked his wrist with the remark.  Matt makes the late Liberace look butch!  Matt reminds me of a time I tried to give a closeted guy the benefit of the doubt and on the second date and he was talking shit about his girl coworker's outfit, and he said in a catty voice, "Sweetie, nobody wears black with navy!" And I thought to myself "Oh no siree, get me an UBER or drive me to BART- I am holding out for a hetero!" 😅

I thought I heard the girl he was seeing ask if Devon was the female who used to be his boss and he said yes but there was no mention of what he did. If I remember right he also said he worked with his mother so my guess is insurance.

What type of venue did Matt take Devon to? Umbrella in the back of his pickup truck, with wine and snacks. I kept expecting to see a concert or outdoor movie or something. But it just looked like they were in a parking lot with cars going by on a nearby street. 

[the-grey-lady]

Um, Emily, a woman in her 30s without a husband and kids hasn't failed at life.

Getting shackled to a spineless mama's boy because you're desperate for a ring is failing at life. Screaming and berating people when you don't get your way is failing at life. Acting like a toddler throwing shrieking tantrums is failing at life.

I know what I'm looking forward to: you not appearing on my screen to whine and screech.

Looked to me like they were parked in a field with the cars going by looking for the next available space in the same field. No doubt it was his idea of upscale tailgating although I was intrigued about the umbrella.

I went back and watched again. They are in a gravel parking lot at a lake, with a nearby grassy area and maybe a beach. Which makes me wonder…why go to a lake and then sit in the parking lot? 🤷🏻‍♀️
