Whoohoo partners get romance dissatisfaction?

This has to do with the lovestruck romance satisfaction and whoohoo partners. I can't find anything about this so I don't know if this is a bug or a design thing or what, but I have a sim who is whoohoo partners with an NPC (zero romance, friendship and whoohoo only), but the NPC keeps getting "very dissatisfied" romantically, which then causes MY sim to get a fear of loneliness, which is hard to resolve (even harder than usual lol)  since they aren't romantic partners. Is this how it's supposed to work, or should I consider this a bug? Any insight would be appreciated.

    Ello, Fanphoria.

    Has your Sim tried woohooing another Sim with zero romance? Does the same thing happen?
    Does the "very dissatisfied" NPC have a Turn-Off for WooHoo? Who are they?

    The sim is Grace Anansi, one of the premades from Realm of Magic. Her only turn off is affection, turn ons are flirtation and whoohoo. The dissatisfaction seems to come mostly from just...not seeing each other that much? Like...they're feeling neglected I guess? But they have no romance bar, so I feel like that expectation shouldn't be there. My sim has had other whoohoo partners, but then usually ended them pretty quickly as he moves on. This has been his only "long term" whoohoo partner I guess. They also did used to date for a bit? But then decided to just be friends and whoohoo partners only. I don't know if that would be a factor. I don't believe this has happened with other only whoohoo partners, but honestly this is my first time playing this type of sim and storyline like this so I don't have a huge data sample lol

    Fanphoria​ This happens or rather happened to some of my sims too, if you didn't see the woohoo partner for a while they would become dissatisfied with  the relationship. I disable lovestruck now because I was fed up with my sims dying from a broken heart when they quite obviously did not have any reason to have a broken heart.

    Oh, wow. Is it a bug then? Do you know if there's already a bug report for it?

    Fanphoria​ I'm not sure they would even class it as a bug, I think it's just working they way they programmed it to work. They probably applied the same routine to woohoo partners as well as lovers and it even happened to one of my married couples.

    That doesn't make sense to me tho. The whole point of whoohoo partners is that there's zero romance. There shouldn't be any romance satisfaction being tracked.
