John Mayer broke off his relationship with Jennifer Aniston because he didn’t want to waste her time, according to Us magazine. He told reporters: “If you guys are going to run stuff and run every lie under the sun, have somebody stand up for somebody. Have me as a man who ended a relationship stand here and write some truth. Have me stand up for somebody and write that Jennifer Aniston is the smartest, most sophisticated person I think I’ve ever met. She’s one of the most lovely people I’ve ever met in my life and I’m going through something that’s a very personal thing and you have to give that up… I’m sorry that the story’s not interesting, but it’s about time that somebody stands up for that girl and I think she’s great.” He further clarified that he was not seeing anyone else: “I ended a relationship to be alone because I don’t want to waste somebody’s time if something’s not right. I don’t waste people’s time.”
