When do you know it's time to move on?

I'm always telling people (even when they don't ask for my advice) that they should never settle when it comes to romantic relationships. That's not to say that I expect perfection; I'm obviously flawed myself so that would be hypocritical. That said, when do you know that it's time to move on? For people who've experienced a significant break up, did you have a "light bulb moment," or did your discontent emerge and grow gradually (and cumulatively)? I feel like I'm at a crossroads. And for a bit more context, I do indeed love him. But does love truly conquer all? I know my questions and thoughts are all over the place, but I've been sitting on this for a while and could use a bit of advice.

Is it love or "it's someone I got used to"?

The time to move on, is when you know the relationship is not going to work out and for that, you need a checklist of what a relationship means to you. If any of the "must have" elements is missing, then the whole is broken.

@Northwest Definitely love; I actually was content in my life prior to meeting him, and didn't have a need to be in another relationship at the moment. And thank you for your advice, there's a major "must have" that is sorely missing.
