When you begin to ask "what's the point?"
I know that I usually start asking myself questions like "what's the point?" or "when will it ever end?" or "how long am I supposed to put up with this?" I get frustrated with the person, and the bad seems to outweigh the good. I start to realize I would be happier without that person in my life. I know something has to change, and it's either going to be the way we treat each other, or the end of the relationship.
For me personally, I talk about everything that happens in my life, big or small. My friends are my diary, and collectively, they have records of everything that has happened in my life. When I realize that I am bitching about my partner to my friends more than bragging about them, or complementing them, then something has to change.
Also, there are deal breakers for me (we all have them) so if someone crosses that uncrossable line, it's done with. There may be forgiveness in time, but there is no relationship left.

Some signs.
A good sign is that one person just does not look in your eyes the same, does not want to be close to you, starts to make up excuses not to hang out with you, will start to talk about going out with friends more.
There are alot of situations that can lead to the end of a relationship, and sometimes little things like not going on a date for a while because someone broke their ankle, or it's winter, or you can't settle minor differences like you have your friends and they have their friends someone always gets frustrated and ends the relationship.
That is why communication is so important, and being completely open is so important because it leads to open conversation and just something that flows back and forth.

The conversations are forced.
You know that feeling when you're mom calls you and either don't have much to talk about or you simply don't feel like talking to her? We've all been there. The conversation drags on and you're thinking more about how soon you can get off the phone without being rude, rather than contributing to the conversation.
Well that's what often happens when a relationship is on it's way out. When your in a great relationship and the chemistry is flowing, there is no forced conversation. The convo flows. You both are on the same wave length. Doesn't matter if you're tired, happy, sad, angry, excited, or whatever. There's that mutual telepathic flow in conversation. Then as the chemistry starts to flicker and fall apart, the conversations do too. You start looking for things to talk about. You're consciously thinking more about what to talk about rather than just talking.
To me, that's always one of the first signs that comes up.
