Hey TheDarkMaster, thanks for your report. I've played around a bit with lowering relationship levels on AI and the issue seems to be exclusive to Sway Ideology. Normally declining demands lowers the relationship level as normal. All the information you provide has been passed on to the Gameplay Team for a fix.
