Basically Isau in that thread proposes that the modifiers we see are +/- per turn acting on the overall relationship value and not just allowed to be additive to reach the current relationship status.
So if you have -4 it will reduce relationship by 4 per turn. I believe several other games work this way though they tend to make it clearer.
