it's not you, it's me

A great excuse for breaking up with someone while trying not to hurt their feelings.
Famously used by George in Seinfeld, he gets upset when he found out someone used his line and claims he invented it.
"Dan I really like you but I think it's over between us."
"What? Why? What did I do?"
"It's not you, it's me."

The reason one gives when terminating a relationship with someone who turns out to be repulsive and/or mind-numbingly boring.
It's not you, it's me...I'm just not attracted to you.

when an asshole doesn't take responsibility for his decisions he’s going to say “it’s not you, it’s me.”

It's not you, it's me.

When ur partner wants to break up with you. They tell you, "It's not you, it's me." It basically means, I wana dump u cos ur mingin and that guy/bird over there is miles fitter, so l8r loser...
Ur holding hands with ur b.f/g.f and are smitten with each other, when suddenly, this really fit guy/girl walks by, you can see your partner druelling @ the site of them. They tell you that its not working and that, "Its not you, it's me."

A lie. Just be honest and say "I'm not attracted to you" like dayum. The whole "It's not me, it's you" bullshit is so overused and I've heard it all before, so if I get in a relationship with anyone and they say that as to why they broke up with me, don't fucking bother. It's an insult to my intelligence and I know that's not the reason. Have some fucking integrity ffs.
