Romantic Relationships decay/become negative fast with no interaction

I am playing with the new expansion pack Lovestruck. My sim started seeing another sim as a partner. Every time I do a romantic social, the romance bar will go up, then start depleting so fast it's like they just started a romantic relationship. This prevents my sim from proposing marriage to the partner sim. This is a game breaking bug, for I can't seem to get romance up even when I'm following the date activities. Plus, the partner sims keeps extending the date even with an almost nothing romance bar.

I've been pretty fortunate to not experience any real bugs since the first Lovestruck update, however, over the weekend (after Lovestruck was released) I started experiencing this. It started as a slow decline in romance and at first I thought it was a part of the new attraction system, having to constantly maintain and work on my sims relationships. I thought that made sense at first. Yesterday though, I could see with my own eyes, how the romance meter went from being full to be completely drained within a couple of seconds. My sims are all of a sudden Very Unhappy in their relationship and one of them even threatened with divorce. Hoping EA will find a fix for this soon and push out yet another bug fix patch...

Yeah, my sims are married with 4 kids (and one on the way), but their romance bar keeps draining. It just happened all of a sudden. In the relationship panel it also says they're "just good friends" and they don't have wedding rings on.
