Relationship issues since new update

Since the latest update, i’ve noticed my sim’s spouse is randomly mean. He is a new relationship. This didnt happen with her previous partner but since dating the new one he is randomly throwing a mean interaction autonomously. There is no reason why he should be. His traits are practice makes perfect, art liver, heart on your sleeve, grouch and muser. All luck and every other changing variable is normal and good. They have amazing compatibility, attraction and satisfaction. I have no idea whats wrong

also have just noticed their friendship label is displayed as acquaintances even though it is a full green bar and romance (aside from the random mean interactions that i fix)

i have also had to propose and marry them 3 times so far in more or less 5 hours of gameplay without them ever divorcing or break up. 
they should be perfect for each other so what is his deal??

  • peppibird​ Actually, it might be his traits.  Grouch likes mischief which can cause negative hits to relationship.  Heart on Year Sleeve sims don't get along with Evil and Mean so, since you didn't say anything about your sim's traits, it might be that.  One of your pics shows he has Skeptical where they challenge things.  Idk if that means they will use mean socials though, but it may.

    But I have also noticed more sims seem to be autonomously throwing in a lot more socials (even with autonomy off) after the last few updates.  Mean being one of them and others that cause negative relationship hits as well so it could just be something got changed that is causing it.

    The acquaintance tag shouldn't be there if they have full bars, so something got stuck there.  The easiest way to fix that is to delete that relationship and have them start from scratch again.  

    There is a current bug where married sims become unmarried after you take them to CAS.  That could be the issue you are having but you didn't say whether you've been taking them to CAS.  Here's the link:  Married couples become unmarried/partners after entering CAS | EA Forums - 13524609

    Hope this helps.
