Iron Bull romance bug (Soft Spoilers)

I'm playing as a male inquisitor, mage class. I have around 60 hours of gameplay into the game, and I would like to report a possible bug with Iron Bull. I managed to have a romance between my character and Iron Bull, and after giving him the dragon tooth necklace, and having different clips of the two in the inquisitor's room having 'intimate moments', one of my friends accidentally ended the relationship with him during a conversation in the tavern. I could have reloaded an old save to avoid this, but it was quite old, so I'm just waiting for the option of beggining a romance with Iron Bull again. Now there are two reasons why I think there is a bug in this current moment:

1) Characters keep mentioning that there is the relationship between the two although my friend chose to end it (e.g. One of the mercenaries said "so, you and the boss uh? Good luck" or something like that).

2) My friend ended the relationship at about 40 hours of gameplay, now I'm at 60 hours, and since then when I open up a dialogue with him no options appear, making me unable to re-romance him, which is annoying.

While I waited for new conversation options to appear, I just romanced Dorian, since it was available. I went through the romance, got his necklace, made fun and love, and then I ended it to check if the situation has changed. But nothing, I can't get new dialogues with him, AND varric keeps mentioning the relationship between the Bull and the inquisitor, even if there is none and I have gone through a whole romance with Dorian. 

Also I did notice that when I talk with Dorian after I ended the relationship, I do get the option to begin a romance with him again unlike with Bull. I can choose - Let's talk about us, and then -We should spend more time together (Begin a relationship with Dorian). I tried to select this, but it does not seem to work either, since once the conversation ends nothing changes, I talk to Dorian again, and the same options reappear. I go through them and choose 'begin a relationship with Dorian', and again the conversation ends without anything changing. I tried several times but nothing changes, perhaps this is a bug too?

Also I know it's not relative to this thread, but I want to compliment the developrs for making this game, DAI is a masterpiece.

    I noticed further evidence for a possible bug:

    Dorian's tarot card changed after the personal quest, and then changed again after the romance. The Iron Bull still has the tarot card of the personal quest, it did not change after the romance. I suppose it should have compared to Dorian?
    Also Dorian's tarot card is still the one of the romance (He lends a white flower), I don't know if it should change further after the romance has ended?

    I'm having the exact same problem with Dorian, where I've romanced him, ended it and then now I can re-romance him again, it's just the same options over and over again.
    So then I tried to romance bull and I can't get anywhere with him, I've done his personal quest and have very high favour with him but still nothing. I think the romance is bugged because it seems like something is blocking the relationship from going further.

    only bug I'm seeing there would be people saying you and bull are still in a relationship.
    From what I understand, as soon as you've "broken off" a relationship with any party member, you can not romance them again. So your friend ending the romance in that conversation permanently locked you out of being able to continue a romance with bull.

    I think it is weird that people are still mentioning you and bull as a pair when you're with dorian. Maybe they're still all in shock after culled, josie, and cass walked in on your "fun" and haven't realized it ended. :P
