Simon Cowell blames relationship rules for his split

Cowell is still on good terms with Seymour and blames himself for the break-up.

“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,” Cowell told ‘Daily Mail’.

The music mogul said,”It got to the point where I’d come home,my head loaded and then it used to start,’So what happened today?’ 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.”
