When Ben sits on the psychologists' couch and is required to describe from his point of view what happened between him and Manor, we hear the whole truth and only the truth: that from the beginning Manor did not do it for him.
He said he gave it another chance at first, but very quickly realized it was not.
Definately not.
Not even close.
Yael, who was called to try to save the situation, remarks that on the honeymoon she heard it was amazing, and Manor confirms her words.
But then we discover the gap: Ben says he was passive.
Shamanor was the one who pushed and initiated.
She is the one who hugged and kissed him all the time, she is the one who tried to get closer, she is the one who initiated everything.
And that's right.
We saw it.
Failure at first sight.

Now we hear from Ben the truth: it has nothing to do with his character.
It's simply because he was not interested.
Therefore he did not initiate any move.
Nor physical.
And this is exactly the heart of the matter: Usually, when a man wants - he does!
If Ben wanted to - he would do.
Already on the moon the thing could be seen.
But Manor, with her energies, caught all the attention, and he was not yet fully crystallized, because he had just met her.
Unlike Manor and Ben - Itamar is terrible in the matter of Karin.
You see the attraction, the enthusiasm, you see that he really flirts with her and makes gestures for her on a daily level - whether it's cooking, waiting for her at home or just taking an interest in her.
In the episode of "Wedding at First Sight" yesterday (Wednesday) he even brought her flowers and wine, and also said he wants her to come with him for walks in the desert.
Because this is how a man who wants to behave: he initiates!
It's in male DNA. It's his way of conquering a woman's heart.
If a man wants - he does.

Let's go back to Manor and Ben, about whom Yael tries to do one last manipulation: "You do not know her. You do not see her as we know her. You also do not let her know you."
But it's not working.
If a man is not attracted, it is lost.
Manor makes a final killing verification: "If there is no attraction - release me."
"You did not reach out to me because you are not interested."
Once Ben confirms these things, Manor does the only thing she has left to do: cut.
It's not you, it's them
At the end of the episode Manor tells the camera, "I was too much. The story of my life."
But this is not true.
She was not too much.
She was she, Ben was he and they just did not fit.
She's not guilty.
He's not guilty either.
If there are culprits here these are really the experts, as Ben said.
And even though their parting is painful and sad, and we certainly see the sadness of each of them, it is better for them, and better for us, the viewers, that we do not have to see these ongoing heartaches on screen.
It's enough to remember Dobby and Eric from last season to figure out where it could have gone.
We wish you a lot of love, with whoever is right for you.
