For me, the idea that I should leave someone has always entered into my mind a lot earlier than I ever acted on it. Sometimes, I should probably trust that idea and act on it sooner instead of waiting things out.
Anyway, there's a point where you realize that you are less happy with him that you would be without him. When you realize that his being in your life is unhealthy or stressful, and that you are not getting what you want/deserve out of the relationship. Once you realize that, you're already half gone.
You just have to take the rest of the steps to finish it.
