TLC’s I Love a Mama’s Boy Season 3 left us with a lot of questions. One big question you might have is if the remaining couples will last. Ethan and Leyna are one couple who raise a few questions. Do they have a chance at staying together? Here’s our take.
Leyna has issues with Ethan’s mother

Leyna said on many occasions that she feels disrespected by Ethan’s mother, Esther. She is uncomfortable with what she perceives as flirting between Ethan and his mother.
During the show, the cameras capture Ethan complimenting his mother by saying how “sexy” she is and how great she looks. He also slaps her on the behind during a dance rehearsal for the wedding. When asked about song choices for the mother-son dance, Ethan recommends Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing.”
Leyna says she is embarrassed by Ethan and Esther’s behavior. She doesn’t know how to explain to her friends and family that this is how her future husband interacts with his mother. Although Ethan and Esther think their behavior is normal, Leyna says the way they act is inappropriate for a mother and son.

Our take
Unless Ethan and Esther follow Leyna’s wishes and tone down their behavior, it doesn’t look like this relationship will go much further. If Ethan and Leyna get married and the behavior continues, it could put a strain on the marriage. Hopefully, Ethan and Leyna figure things out and decide on a compromise that works for both of them.
