"I think there were probably places in Omri that he did not want this relationship. When couples want to be together - then they are together."

In an episode of "Wedding at First Sight" where Omri Krauss and Maayan Rubin broke up, Maayan slapped Omri that every time the cameras go off he goes to other places. As a result, a lot of eyebrows were raised and a lot of speculation was heard, but from a distance, Maayan tries to explain what exactly happened there. "Omri came to Israel after living abroad for ten years," she says in an interview with Walla! Tarbut. "He wanted to make up for the shortfall through many meetings with friends, parties, family. He went out a lot and I would stay home. In the end, when you want a relationship, you are also looking for these homely places. I had a very strong look in my conversation with Nitzan on a couples weekend. She told me that she and Mano just sit on the porch, drink, talk about life and laugh. She told me they do not need big attractions to enjoy each other. Something in this place of closing the day Together, to open the day together, I was looking for just that, the quiet and the home.He was looking to experience, to go out to parties, to meet friends.That is where the gaps were created. "

"No. The significant moment was in the couple's game with the sewing threads. Ask Omri how he has the courage not to try and why he does not jump into the water. Throughout the season, these questions often occurred to me. I wondered if I was the only one who saw the step he was making. "Forward and then immediately three steps back. I wondered if it was just in my head. I thought to myself that maybe I interpret reality as harsh and exaggerating. But when I saw that others also see the situation as I feel it - I realized that we need to separate."

"Good question. I think he probably also had places where he did not want this relationship. When couples want to be together - then they are together. When there are two people who want to be with each other, they want to go to parties together and meet friends. Omri "He wanted to be with his friends without me. I understand that, he less wanted me to be with him in these situations and that's fine."

Maayan Rubin was born 34 years ago in Rosh HaAyin. After studying acting and participating in several campaigns, she created on YouTube about seven years ago a ripping character named "Noa Filter", thanks to whom she became a network star. About two years ago, she decided to store the character in Boidem and set up a company that provides companies with digital content and promotion services. But the success of Maayan's career does not coincide with the success of her relationship life. "I was sure that at the age of 30 I would be married with children, and suddenly I found myself at the age of 33 without a relationship. I asked myself what I was doing wrong, what in my way was not working. That's why I came to 'Wedding at First Sight'" (Decision Chapters - Tuesday And Saturday request 12).

"It's okay to say I wanted to start a family and I wanted a healthy relationship. I may have just had bad luck, but in the end I got into a situation where I really wanted a relationship and something didn't work for me. I couldn't solve it alone and realized I had to change something. I do not believe Sitting waiting for luck to bring me a relationship but to bring myself the opportunities, and I realized that I can change something in my own way, learn about myself and be better in a relationship as well. "Get into the depths of my soul with me, and when you have to answer a lot of things in this process - you answer a lot of things for yourself."

"They asked me for example who the type I was looking for was, what could balance me in a relationship. I realized I needed security and stability in a relationship. It's very important to me. Many times I just answered myself things I had not answered before."

"Omri arrived after many years abroad and was very hungry to meet family and friends.

At the same time, he started the TV relationship with me.

He wanted to experience, and I wanted a home.

There was probably also something in the way I conducted myself that kept Omri away. "

Then came the show, in which she was married to dentist Omri Krauss, who returned to Israel after more than a decade in the Netherlands.

The beginning was promising, but very quickly many cracks were discovered in the couple's relationship that led to the breakup.

"When we were on the honeymoon in the Seychelles, I felt there was a situation here for something real. There was a stunning experience. We had great conversations, I felt I could be exposed in front of him. I saw in front of me a person with emotional intelligence and we were having good conversations."

"Omri arrived after many years abroad and was very hungry to meet family and friends. At the same time, he started the TV relationship with me. He wanted to experience, and I wanted a home. There was probably also something in the way I conducted myself that kept Omri away. When we returned to Israel, I asked to sleep alone in bed and I think maybe it hurt him. He felt a kind of restraint from me and it took him back. I could not mediate it properly for him. It should be understood that I took this process very seriously so I took everything hard. I put thought into everything, and probably had to lighten up in many cases, be positive and lift. There were times I was hurt and had a hard time, and I went backwards. This led to the kind of domino that started from the couch story, and moved on to the party story he went without inviting me, and also the Dead Sea story. Eventually we got to a place where no one did good for a second. We realized that it just did not work, that it just did not happen to us. "

"It's not a race with a prize for winners who reach the finish line. The goal is to create a relationship, to build something real, healthy and right. Once you understand that it's not, why play games? Just to say I reached the end of the program? I can not pretend. We tried, no Worked, so why pull? ".

"It was difficult. I came to this process very innocent and optimistic. I wanted to find a relationship there. I really believed in it. I thought it would lead me to this place so I was very disappointed."

"We corresponded here and there during the broadcast of the show, but today I am somewhere else."

"Wedding at First Sight": Itamar's reaction to Karin raises suspicions that this is an editorial ploy

"It was not easy for Yuval to hear that he was going to watch me for half a year on TV in a relationship with someone else. He is the furthest from this world, he does not want to be exposed. It was not easy for him but we managed it."

And when Maayan says she's "somewhere else," she definitely means it.

After the filming of the show ended and the relationship with Omri failed, she returned to the dating circle.

Within a month and a half, she met Yuval, 37, an architect by profession who promotes evacuation-construction projects.

Since then they have been maintaining an eight-month relationship and they will soon move in together.

"At first I did not tell him that I had just finished filming 'Wedding at First Sight'. I kept it a secret. I was afraid it would scare him and I also wanted to see that our relationship was serious."

"He took it a little hard. It was not easy for him to hear that he was going to watch me for half a year on TV in a relationship with someone else. He also checked that it was not a real marriage. He is the furthest from this world, he does not want to be exposed. He was not simple but we succeeded "I told myself that if we could get through this period, it would say a lot about our future. We were able to get a lot of good things out of it and it seems to me that after watching me in a relationship, we took everything possible to make our cell healthier."

"Think that apart from a few dates we did outside before the season started, for eight months we only met at home, we did not go out on dates. All the relationship building was done at home, we had a lot of conversations, we played checkers, and backgammon, we cooked meals. "I love parties. I'm sick of it, but I still love doing it with my partner."

"True, but on the other hand I know what we have inside our house. Once there is that confidence - he knows I'm with him and I know he's with me - then it does not bother me that everyone is talking. We have what we have and that's what matters. It's very strengthening We have a relationship. "

"Yeah, we're talking about it. I could not even look for apartments all this time."

Planning to live together.

"In my life I have never had the opportunity to watch myself in a relationship, to see how I behave in different situations, what I do right, what I do wrong. It changes lives."

Let's go back to the program for a moment. How does it feel to watch TV yourself?

"The truth is it's crazy. In life I've never had the opportunity to watch myself in a relationship, to see how I behave in different situations, what I do right, what I do wrong. It changes lives. I suddenly see all kinds of my reactions, I had no idea "I mean, I knew for example that I was shutting down but I did not know what it looked like and suddenly I have a chance to see myself and see how I react. It's a crazy process and he taught me a lot."

"There are passages that are harder to watch, but when you are in the process I did not think about what things look like, I did not think about what it looked like. I would have been present in the moment itself. If I had not brought myself in at that moment, I could not change myself. Process and change. "

"One of the things I had a hard time expressing to my spouses in the past was my insecurity. When I went into 'Signature' I said I would put all my truth as it is. I learned to mediate what I was going through, I was not afraid to put insecurity on the table. I once thought "It would take away from me if I saw weakness. It would have been interpreted in the past as some kind of arrogance but it does not come from this place. It comes from a place of insecurity, from a place that seeks stability."

"Absolutely not. I did not come to play a character. If I wanted to play a character, I would continue to make Noa Filter's videos. I came to be me and to learn from that. I would come to the show. I came to 'Khatuni' not to model a relationship but to experience a relationship, to grow and grow. I learn a lot from a spring that I see on the screen. One hundred percent myself and that's why I was able to do a real process. "

Go back and shut yourself off.

"We both made mistakes throughout this process. He would move forward and then step back. I felt like he was saying something and building it, then going back on it. He told me for example to come with him to the party and then go back on it. It created insecurity for me."

What responses do you mostly get?

"Everything from everything. There are those who also attack me. This program evokes a lot of emotions from people, so it is natural that there will be a lot of criticism and I accept it. I was told that I am closed, that I am depressed, that I do not smile. It's better. "From every talkback they wrote about me this season. But overall, on the street I get a lot of love."

"Yeah. Understand it was the right move for both of us. A breakup should also not be a negative thing. You can finish things nicely, you can grow and grow from it. We were able to do it without a collision."

"You get into everyone. Get into me, and get into it, and it's not easy for anyone to read the reviews they write. Nobody likes to read bad things that are written about them. I get those reviews, but obviously people's hand is light on the keyboard."

"We both made mistakes throughout this process. He would move forward and then step back. I felt he say something and build it, then repeat it. He told me for example to come with him to the party and then repeat it. It created insecurity in me and I felt instability in our relationship. That made me go back and shut up. "

(Laughs) "I think I'll never wear Wanzi again in my life."

"I think a lot of tattoos symbolize in me a desire for excitement. I think I meant more to people who take something to extremes. Like girls who operate on their whole body. Nothing extreme is good, because if you go to an extreme place is it out of a need for some excitement? Looking for a lot of confidence and stability, I was afraid it would indicate that. "

(Laughs) "Yeah, he has two little ones."

I finished with Noa Filter.

What is your position on the Itamar and Karin issue? They are the couple who snatch most of the fire from viewers and on social media.

"In the end everyone gets reviews here and there. There is no one who is free from mistakes and it can not be avoided. I am sure they grew up from it and learned a lot from it. It hurts to read what is written about others."

"With Noa Filter I'm done. I love doing what I do, I really enjoy my business. I'm fulfilling more and more of my dreams and it's great fun. What will give birth to a day? I have no idea. Right now I'm good."

"Obviously".

"To me, success is if I am in a healthy relationship today and if I changed my path and got to a place I always dreamed of getting to. I always dreamed of establishing a home and a healthy relationship."

(Smiles) "Yes, there is definitely a situation."

"A crazy experience, a year of life. Listen, I finally got what I wanted from her."
