Once they are in your sims romantic relationship panel, they stay there, even if you get the romantic relationship down to nothing (or negative)...as you've observed.
The only way to clear out the (now former) romantic relationship entirely is to get the sims' relationship with each other completely removed (relationship culling). This means both friendship and romantic relationship.
If you use mods, you can do this with MCCC, if you don't, you need to get both friendship and romantic down super low (either through gameplay or the modifyrelationship cheat) and then have the sim's avoid interacting with each other until the games' relationship culling removes them from each other's relationship panel entirely.
Once their relationship has been culled, you can have them greet each other and it will be like they met completely anew.
Note, the sims need to have a lot of other relationships before relationship culling will take effect at all, so if either of them do not know very many people, you will need to change that as well for this method to work. More about relationship culling is available
here. It's dated information, but still mostly accurate. Of special note is the various relationship bits that prevent culling. If any of them apply you will need to use cheats to remove them.
Personally, I find it all way too much trouble to try to do without the quick-and-easy solution that MCCC provides.
