Sometimes it just means that the person wants different things....and while those things might not be bad...they aren't what you wanr/need at that time.

A person can do nothing wrong....and it still not mesh with the other.

And sometimes it's an excuse to let someone down easy.....

It's a conversation ender. If they told you what the real problem is you'd try and argue/negotiate your way back into their life. They already know that's what you'll do so they aren't giving you the opportunity.

If this wasn't true you wouldn't be here asking...you would accept that it's over and move on.

it's all bs

You break up with someone who you no longer like or want to be with, for whatever reason.

"I'm not ready." - If you are really in love with someone, you wouldn't be "not ready." You'd snatch them up asap before someone else gets to them.

And as far as "It's not you, it's me." - I think it actually means "YOU aren't really that bad, I'd just rather be alone or with someone else."

Frequently it means that the person saying it realizes they have issues and that this relationship is not going to work because of their own personal issues. In other words, they are being honest.

This may seem remarkably implausible to some people, especially those who refuse to take responsibility for their own faults, hangups and shortcomings. But as hard as it may be for those extremely immature people to grasp, there are a lot of people out there that are willing to accept that they may be the source of a problem and admit it as an act of kindness, not only to the person they are breaking up with, but ultimately to themselves as well.

And then there are also people who say this because they want to get out of a relationship fast and do not want to create unnecessary conflict by castigating the person they are breaking up with. In this case, it could be the other person's fault, or it could be that the person saying this is one of those immature people who cannot imagine anything being their own fault, and has just learned to say this as a tactic to get themselves out of a "relationship" quickly.

I've said this. Means, I'm tired of your chit. I'm not into you anymore. We're done. A nice way of saying, Its over. Not wanting to hurt feelings.
