"I don't know if there will be a third wedding": Danit Greenberg on the comeback to her ex

Two weeks have passed since Danit Greenberg (34) announced her surprising reunion with her ex, Tel Aviv capital market manager Meni Yona (39). Since then, she has even shared with her 490,000 followers the "contract" they made to renew their relationship. Today (Wednesday), we met her at the launch of her new perfume brand, Done, at the duty-free shop to hear what led to this renewed connection.

— I see you brought your parents to the launch, where is your partner?

— My partner supports me; he is really excited. You don't understand, he is dying of excitement and sends me messages like, "How fun this will be" and "Good luck, my beautiful." In the morning, I sent him my outfit, and he was enthusiastic.

— So, do you recommend going back to an ex?

— I recommend doing what your heart says, to listen to your heart. We were separated for four months, and during that time, something felt unresolved, not closed. By the way, this is the first time I've ever gone back to an ex. It surprised even me. My breakups are usually absolute; I know why I reached them, I am very calculated, but suddenly these feelings that wouldn't leave me made me realize there was something here worth checking. At first, I thought I just needed closure, but then I realized my heart was still there.

— Some claim that "closure" is a concept that exists mainly among women, while men just move on. Do you think it's just an excuse for another conversation?

— Everything happening to me now is very new. This breakup made me go very deep inside myself, to know myself better, and to understand where my choices come from. I did very deep self-work during these months of separation—work that led me to the conclusion that I want to return to him.

— And you were the one who initiated the contact?

— Yes. During the months we were separated, there were hints here and there, and I knew he was still around. But one evening, Omer Kuli and I were sitting together, and I told him I was still thinking about Meni and missing him, and he just said, "So let's send him a message." I sent him, "Hey, what's up? Are you home?" We were near his house, he said yes, I suggested he come to the bench, and we sat and talked for a long time. I didn't know where it would lead, but there I knew there was a chance for a comeback.

— You don't share him on social networks—is that his request or your mechanism?

— Since Barak and I divorced, I haven't shared any partner. It's been more than four years. It was entirely my decision. I've dated people who didn't want to be exposed, but it doesn't matter, because I decided in advance: no. Over the years, my relationship life has aroused a lot of curiosity, and I remember that after Barak, I said that if I date someone, I keep him to myself. I wanted to feel it first before the whole world felt it with me.

— When will we see a proper couple photo of you?

— I don't know. It's still a step that is hard for me to take. Listen, he is drop-dead gorgeous, smart, and funny. My parents were the happiest about this return.

— You are protecting yourself after two divorces. Is it about boundaries?

— In the end, it's about boundaries. If you don't have boundaries in your exposure on the net, you can really get lost. When I exposed the reunion with Meni, I did it from a very whole place, from a place of healing. And I let go of the fear of, "What if we break up again?" The main thing is that I love him and we are together now.

— Will there be a third wedding?

— I don't know. It's hard for me to think about it in the middle of the wedding season; I'm at an event every two days, I don't want another one. My mom definitely doesn't—she said she won't come.

— With all the desire to return, was there also psychological therapy involved?

— Yes, I've shared that I'm undergoing therapy because it's important to me to convey that this is not a privilege, it's a necessity. With everything we are going through, especially in recent years in our country, everyone needs therapy in my opinion. I have been in therapy for years, but I felt that this breakup gave me a push to dive even deeper into myself and gain clarity on why these are my choices.
