Loren's mother is upset with the couple's decision to move to Israel on Loren & Alexei: After the 90 Days
On tonight's episode of Loren & Alexei: After the 90 Days, Loren wanted to take her girlfriends' opinion on the couple potentially moving to Israel with their kids. While having a conversation, her mother Marlene evesdropped and addressed her concerns with the same. Loren's parents weren't happy with the pair's decision as they were moving to a completely different county.
Loren, however, felt upset with her mother evesdropping into her conversation with her friends when she valued their opinions, considering the two of them had lived in Israel when they were kids. In a confessional, Loren said:
"I'm in the middle of a conversation with my girlfriends and what do you know? Here she comes. I feel like she's trying to overhear things, and then voice her opinion and concern even though this conversation has nothing to do with her."
By the end of the episode, Loren and Marlene got into a heated argument about the decision. The latter was surprised that her daughter was talking about it freely and was seriously considering moving to Israel. She felt that just because it worked for Loren's friends doesn't mean it would work for her daughter.
Loren, however, felt that just because Marlene didn't agree with their decision, it didn't mean that it was wrong. While the Loren & Alexei: After the 90 Days star mentioned that the decision was not definitive, and something that the couple was "heavily considering," they would still not live in Florida if not Israel.
In a confessional, Loren said:
"After we go to Israel, if Alex and I feel that moving to Israel is a good idea, we're gonna do what's right for us and our family. But my mom is throwing that Jewish guilt at me from all angles, and she knows what she's doing. But she's just, like really making me feel bad about it."
