Robbie Williams tried to make his girlfriend dump him.
The 'Bodies' singer was terrified about embarking on a new relationship when he met actress Ayda Field almost three years ago and initially tried to dissuade her from getting involved with him.
He said: "I've always been, 'You're not getting in.' I never gave anybody a chance really.
"Ayda was different. I was like, 'Do something mad so I can finish with you. Just give me a hard time. Turn into a monster. Be unreasonable. When I'm grumpy, you get grumpy, this will escalate. That frustrates me and makes me look at myself as a person.' "
Robbie admits he initially found it hard being faithful to Ayda, but he says he has now changed his ways and is fully committed to the 30-year-old American actress.
He added to Britain's GQ magazine: "When I drank I was like, 'Who am I going to be without drink?' With this it was, 'What am I going to be in this relationship? You mean I can't go off and be impressive with women for 24 hours, make them fall in love with me and then disappear?' But as the days go by it pales into insignificance."
