It's not you it's me

A phrase used when terminating a relationship. Usually used to confuse and/or draw attention away from the real reason the relationship is ending, because of the emotionally painful nature of the reason.

Rarely used in person, more often used in phone converstions, e-mails and voicemails.

He was a nice guy, but he was as good in bed as a cement block. So I called him up last night and told him it was over, but it wasn't him it was me.

It's not you it's me

Complete bullshit

Person 1: I'm so so sorry but I can't have a relationship right now. It's not you it's me
