Anyone ever went on a break and got back together? Was it awkward?

I would love to hear other peoples experience and see if what I’m feeling is normal or not.

My boyfriend went on a break for 4-5 weeks. Two was because I needed me time to learn to re-love myself and I found myself by doing what I love (a break for me time but not a breakup) . Another two because he thought I wanted to break up with him and was convinced it was the end. We agreed there was a miscommunication and ended up taking more weeks so he can focus on some

major thing.

We met again yesterday for a group dinner and it was normal. We only ever hug and talk. Everything about him seem different but better. He started going to the gym, and doing more things he loves. I feel weird like we are best friends than lovers. Yet every night until yesterday I was very sad - I missed him entirely her waited very patiently for his time.

I’m meeting him on the weekend for dinner. He agreed to have dinner together and I’m anxious to whether we will ever go back to normal or if it’s doomed!

So is it normal to be a little awkward?
