How do you know if its time to say Good Bye?

Hi again. I posted something on here only about 2 days ago wanting to know how to get back to a good place in a relationship. Well, now I'm wondering when you know to just give in and say good bye?
Now, when I feel calm and rational, I feel that I am still in love with Bob*. But when we start fighting, or I get mad, upset, frustrated etc...I feel very torn, and am not sure if I even really LIKE him anymore. I have become a firm believer in the fact that it is more important to LIKE the person you are with than to LOVE them. (Don't get me wrong, both are vital, but without LIKE, LOVE will never be enough)
Anyway...things have just taken a turn for the worst lately, and they don't seem to ever get any better. And if there is any resolution in sight, it doesn't really last too long. So, back to my original question...When do you know if it is time to say Good Bye?
We have been together now for 6 years, but we aren't exactly "compatible". We are very oposite. He is very organized, logical, pretty level headed etc...whereas I am very scatterbrained, messy, I procrasitnate etc...
We thought that we could deal with eachother's differences, but lately they seem to come back into question a lot more. Now we are even starting to put boundaries on everything that we can/can't say to eachother, what we can do around eachother, it is getting rediculous.
So, I'm just wondering if my dislike towards him may just be because I'm mad, or is there really something there, and we should just leave eachother to find people better suited to us?
Thank you for the help.

I agree , it does sound as if its probably time to cut the losses, it wont be easy, But its better than waiting til you hate each other. You still ma become the best of freinds in the future but I think from what youve said your personal futures are better served apart. Sorry I know thats hard to hear, but I think you already know that just need confirmation. I wish you the best as there will be rough times no matter which way you go from here. Becareful, remember you have the right to be happy too

When you are thru, there will be no doubt.  You are not ready yet.

There's no real "right time", it's more like a realization you have.  There's always a time when you realize what you have to do and you have no room for doubts.  Maybe you already know what to do, but it's hard to do it.  It's always hard, especially after being together for so long.  It hurts to end something like that, that meant/means so much to you.  But can you keep living like this?  Is it worth it?  If you end it, time will heal your wounds and you'll be more at peace.  Have a serious talk with  him about where he sees you two going and what he wants out of your relationship.  Ask him perhaps if he would rather split up.  That could make your decision easier to make.
