When you start dating your ex again after a period of separation or a breakup, it's commonly referred to as "getting back together" or "rekindling the relationship." In this situation, both partners have decided to give their romantic relationship another chance and have chosen to restart their dating and emotional connection. People may get back together for various reasons, such as realizing they still have strong feelings for each other, wanting to work on unresolved issues, or simply missing the emotional bond they once had. It's essential for both partners to communicate openly and honestly about their intentions and expectations when considering getting back together.
