I know it's crazy, but I can absolutely understand this feeling. I had recently married Abby in Stardew Valley and was starting to make friends with the other villagers. I did something the game wasn't expecting, and gave Seby a loved gift on his birthday, and then quickly triggered an event where we kissed! (FWIW, I think this behavior has been fixed and you can't do this on the current patch.)
I still feel bad thinking about that Abigail that I accidentally cheated on, and I haven't loaded that save again. It's been years; SV 1.4 wasn't even out yet.
So, despite how much I dislike all this "AI" hype, I really do sympathize for the users that feel like they've lost a relationship.
