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.

Love alone isn't sufficient reason to stay. You need to look at the rest of the relationship and envision living with him for another 30 or 40 years with things as they are right now.

How does that make you feel???

@HootyTheNightOwl It makes me feel sad.....
@AlwaysAlexis Then it's time to look at what you can change to make the next 30 or 40 years happier.

Can you mix it up by taking more alone time to enjoy each other's company - or do you feel that this relationship is beyond even the things you can change???
