COWELL BLAMES RELATIONSHIP RULES FOR SEYMOUR SPLIT

SIMON COWELL has revealed the pain behind his split from longterm girlfriend TERRI SEYMOUR - blaming the rules of relationships for the pair's break-up.

The American Idol maestro and his TV presenter partner decided to go their separate ways last year (08) after six years together.

And although the former couple are on the best of terms, with Cowell reportedly buying Seymour a $2.5 million (£1.6 million) mansion as a parting gift, the music mogul admits the mundane aspects of having a partner led to the split.

But Cowell points the finger of blame completely at himself - because he easily gets bored.

He tells Britain's Daily Mail, "I was hurt when Terri and I broke up, because I liked her so much. We were incredibly close. I think just the fact we were in a relationship with the rules that are attached to that - or what we think are rules - that can cause problems. Rules equal boredom and I don't like that.

"It got to the point where I'd come home, my head loaded and then it used to start, 'So what happened today?' I had a meeting. 'Who was in the meeting?' 'What did they say?' 'Why were they in the meeting?' I said, 'You know what? Up to 11pm you can ask me anything, but after that, no more questions. It was done as joke, but seriously. When it started getting to 11.30pm I'd say, 'I'm not going to answer any more questions.' In the end, we were arguing over silly things.

"When that happens, it becomes stressful because you get into a pattern. I always think you never want to get to the point where you hate each other. Terri's cool. I mean, she got it. It wasn't me going off after some other girl."
