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.

When you know you're ok with being alone again, most relationships drag on because one or both are not wanting to be alone again

@Tminus6453 Truth. Prior to meeting him I was actually okay with being single (I had been married for long time and wasn't really looking for that again). Now I'm at a point (again) where the thought of going through life alone is terrifying. Then again, it can't be any worse than what I'm feeling now. Thanks for your response.

@AlwaysAlexis Yeah, its a double edged sword, you're not happy with that person.... but at least when you are alone it will suck at first, but you have complete control of your situation and eventually you always find ways to adapt and to be content with being alone..🙂
