Girl Talk: It’s Not You It’s Me?!!

Emily in Meridian was just dumped in what I think is one of the worst ways ever!!! Here's what he said to her! 

Dear Rick and Carly, 

I recently broke up with a guy who told me, "It's not you, it's me." That is a poor excuse. What does it mean? What is my former boyfriend trying to say? Is it me or really him?
