So in W1 your with that one chick (its escaped my mind)
W2 your with triss since you wake up in the bed with her
W3 your supposed to be with Yenn ?
Thats how the story goes im guessing? Obviously not the whole story but the relationship part of it. Just a man out for answers is all!
Plus who could resist violet eyes..
In W1 you can choose between Shani or Triss or neither, giving Alvin to one of them kinda locked you onto one woman, but i wouldn't count that as "together".
In W2 CDPR shipped you to Triss by default, it didn't matter what you do or did before that. You also can't really change that through the game, because before you can actually have a serious talk with Triss, she is missing and you won't find her until the end of the game. That's why many suspected we will have this serious talk in Witcher 3, but we haven't really.
At the end of W2 Geralt has regained his full memory and leaves Triss for good, just like he always do with the ladies, when Yennefer is calling.
So at the start of W3 you are, well, i can't really say for sure, as the game is quite ambiguous about that.
Geralt and Yennefer never split up in reality, on the contrary the very start of the games is how Geralt follows the Wild Hunt, because they kidnapped Yennefer to lure Ciri out of her hideout. Apparently it didn't work so well for the Wild Hunt, but neither for Geralt, because he couldn't defeat the Wild Hunt and get Yennefer back, so instead he offered the king of the Wild Hunt his life in exchange for Yennefer's. The King accepted, took Geralt and released Yennefer. Unfortunately she got captured by Nilfgaard and was imprisoned by Emhyr for quite a while.
That's the last time they saw each other, when Geralt offered his life for her and that's not from the books, but from the game story. The next time they meet is in White Orchard, so are they still in a relationship? Kinda? It's more or less in a state like it was always in the books.
Does Yennefer think the same? Probably? When you talk with her in Wizima, she doesn't look or appear like everything is set at zero again, like they need to start the relationship over again, especially considering that she knows that he got his memories back, she would assume that everything is back at normal, like at the end of the books. The kiss at the end even suggests it, i would say.
If she would be worrying about his devotion at this point, she would have addressed it, but she didn't really, on the contrary she almost only talked about Ciri. It's like the short relationship Geralt had with Triss (and/or Shani, even though the game doesn't recognize it....) is almost not worth mentioning by her, because that's nothing new for her, it's already in the past.
Should she be more furious about it? Maybe? If you consider in what state they were at the end of the books, you would assume that both of them would go into hell and back for each other, and they did, so maybe she is just trusting Geralt that that thing with Triss was again just a minor sidestep.
Maybe she even pardons him, because of his amnesia, but she would never ever say that, but it would explain why she is almost reserved in accusations towards him, except if you decide to leave her, then she will let her wraith go wild, if you insist on it.
All in all i would say they are in the same situation like they were in the books, so for me personally it has never changed, they are in a relationship. Especially if you consider that this time again (Thanedd Banquet was the former last time) neither of them left the other one voluntary, they were forced apart by the Wild Hunt and not by relationship issues.
I have to admit thinking about this again, makes me appreciate more the way Yennefer appears now in the games, but i have to elucidate that tomorrow, bed is calling.

Oh, and if they meet again at Skellige, their dialogue is even more indicating that's it is indeed in the same state as before, especially if it ends in unicorn sex it seals the deal for me.
