Lindsay and Samantha "Never Broke Up"

While they haven't been spending as much time together as usual, Lindsay continues to insist that she and Samantha are still together.

"We never broke up," Linds tells Life & Style magazine. “People don’t have to be together every second. It’s healthy to miss someone, and if you’re in it for the long run, it’s good to know that.”

On their Facebook profiles, both still have their status listed as "in a relationship." BUT, Lindsay recently updated her status several times over the weekend with the cryptic quotes: "Lindsay deserves the best and the truth" and "Happiness and love are just a choice away."

A friend tells Life & Style that ups and downs are just part of their relationship.

“They break up and make up all the time,” the source says. “There are a lot of speed bumps in this relationship — but that’s part of the attraction.”

I guess Monday night was one of their "ups", the gal-pals were seen having a quiet dinner together at their favorite sushi spot, Matsuhisa in West Hollywood.
