Trading insults is not adding anything constructive to the conversation; let's please try to keep things civil and positive folks ^.^
As of the recent patch, it seems as though, at least in some regards, you can experience several companion dialogues in a single rest - I had a rest where I engaged Lae'zel, Shadowheart and Gale on the same evening, one after the other. this doens't seem to always be the case, but it is a sign that they might be working towards disentangling companion progress from needing to spam rests, perhaps.
