Household Sims loose existing relationship

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? At least once. 
What is your current game version number? 1.108.349.1029 DX9
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? For rent, growing together, high school years, cottage living, snowy escape, discover university, island living, seasons, cats & dogs, city living, get together, get to work, dream home decorator, realm of magic, strangerville, jungle adventure, parenthood, dine out, outdoor retreat, paranormal, my first pet, toddler, bowling night, backyard, kids room, romantic garden, luxury party, free holiday pack, desert luxe, fashion street. 

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play with two married sims with max relationships, as well as other sims in the same household and see if the married sims suddenly become strangers. 
What happens when the bug occurs? Two sims in active household married with both maxed romance and friendship suddenly lose all relationship with each other. One sim also lost milestone memories of the first wedding and becoming best friends. The other did not. 
What do you expect to see? Married sims not becoming strangers all of a sudden. 
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? I've only had this happen once, but it was after the big Lovestruck patch and the three subsequent emergency patches. 

My sims have been married for a long time and have had maxed friendship and romantic relationship. They're also best friends because one has the soulmate aspiration. But suddenly their relationship completely disappeared, like no friendship, no romance at all, they were no longer married. I had a different sim's profile open and I only noticed because the prompt came up that they fell out of touch (they're in the same household) and were no longer best friends. Thankfully my one sim has max charisma so I could get it back quickly but nothing prompted this at all. My one sim was swimming in their pool and the other sim was playing with their daughter in the kiddie pool. The only thing I can think of is their two teens just aged into adults and one of them just got engaged to his girlfriend and became best friends with her, but I don't know why this would mess up the parent's relationship. 

And I hate to add this but this is the fourth major glitch I've experienced since the Lovestruck update and it's just so frustrating. I don't even have Lovestruck so I don't understand why I'm experiencing so many glitches with the game. I just want to be able to play the game without experiencing crazy problems every five minutes. 

I play on PC and have my game fully updated. No mods or CC.
