Graham Norton has revealed he would prefer to live alone for the rest of his life than deal with the petty problems of being in a relationship.
The TV host admitted that the older you get – the fussier you become when it comes to finding a partner.
“I would prefer to live alone for the rest of my life than live with towels that were folded incorrectly,” he said.
Standards: Graham has become fussier in finding a partner
“Petty is important. That’s why marriages break up. Marriages don’t break up because of big things.”
“You have your own rules as you get older.”
The BBC star insisted that as you get older – your standards become higher.
“The older you get, the less right you have to be fussy and yet the older you get, the fussier you become,” he told The Mirror.
Relationships: Graham is careful to not get his heartbroken again
“So oddly, when your standards should be dropping you find them getting higher. You see younger friends starting relationships and you just know how that story ends. You just sit there and wait for the end.”
The 52-year-old also admitted that as you get older – you’re more wary of being cheated on.
 “When you’re young, if you meet a partner and they’re cheating on someone to be with you, but then they go with you, you think ‘that’s great’ But of course as older people, we know they then cheat on you.
“So I’m careful. Why do you want to be heartbroken again because if you keep being heartbroken, you’re a moron.”
