Would it be lack of communication, lies, or what? When do you know it's time to throw in the towel regardless of how much you love somebody?

When all methods of trying to keep the marriage/relationship have failed. Cards have been laid out on the table, counseling has occurred, etc.
Abuse and infedility, IMHO are solid reasons to leave. Trust can be a big one, but I guess it would also depend on what is being lied about. I think that issue can be addressed.

When you build up the confidence to leave.
My guess is that if you have to ask this question, it's time to leave, you just lacking the cahones to do it.
Do it. Stop wasting time. Life is too short. (I say this b/c it sounds like you really want to go and are just looking for a way out. This means that you aren't interested enough to try therapy)
Reasons if you have kids: Abuse, Drugs, Alcohol, Infidelity. (Anything else you need to try to work out for the sake of the kids. At least until they turn 18.)
Reasons if you don't have kids: Any. (Not that I agree with it, but if you think you have a just cause for leaving then go)
Good Luck.

I would suggest marital counseling before just throwing in the towel. Try to work things out. If one spouse has done something so incredibly heinous, like physical or sexual abuse, then it's time to leave the marriage.

OK it's time to leave when 1, cheating is involved, 2, abuse of any type.3 drugs involved. however any thing else can be worked out. if it's real love then out side of the 3 reasons given i think it can be resolved.if your simply not happy tell him and have a honest open heart to heart talk. You may be surprised what a good honest talk can do.

What a horrible way to approach the problem. It sounds as though you are just looking for a way out. If there's a problem, then you might ask "Is this problem bad enough to leave", but looking for a reason that good enough to leave sounds like you have already given up.

One or more of three-
you or the other person fall out of love with each other
you know longer feel safe at night when you close your eyes
you have children seeing the fighting/abuse/infidelity any of those
Everything else can be worked out....trust me

So long as there's no violence... the only time to leave home is when you've exhausted all other options.
Go to counselling... go to a therapist... if you're religious, go to your spiritual leader.
People divorce far too easily today... marriage is disposable...
