It's not you, it's me is a popular phrase used in the context of breaking-up, and is intended to ease the dumpee's feeling in the knowledge that it wasn't their fault, but because of a fault with the dumper. ==History== Merriam-Webster says that the phrase originated in newspaper articles which saw it being used in a sporting context where players would "either apologizing for or boasting about their abilities". But the phrase morphed into a romantic context from in the 1988 movie ''Casual Sex?'' where it was used in the middle of a seduction scene.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=It's Not You, It's Me )〕 In 1989, a column written from the perspective of a sexually frustrated wife who uses the term "ran stateside in syndication", and in the same year an Australian comedian named Anthony Ackroyd deemed the line "unavoidably unoriginal".〔 The phrase was popularised by a 1993 episode of Seinfeld where George Costanza gets dumped by a woman who uses the phrase on him.〔 PsychologyToday offered an expanded version which reads: "'It's not you, it's me.' 'I hope we can still be friends'", which adds an element of friendzoning to the situation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="It's Not You, It's Me."
