I don't think we have to take the six months Max said too literally. I think he was just saying that to make the point that he did not break up with Sasha because of Tanya, and that there was no cheating involved. That answer was probably already good enough to satisfy 99% of their fans. Not that many people will actually bother to break down their relationship into that much detail. And I always keep thinking to myself how Tanya and Max might react if they ever came across this thread...
