If you're arguing and feeling like crap after just six months it's time to walk. As long as you stay with someone who makes you unhappy (regardless of how much you love that person) you are potentially keeping yourself from meeting someone who would make you happy.

You are too young of a gal to feel like crap in a relationship. If a relationship, any relationship, doesn't improve you as a person, make you happy, move on. No one should not bring joy to your life.

Just because you can't imagine not being with him doesn't mean you're incapable of living without him. You'll be fine. Heartbroken for a little while, but then you'll get over it and feel a lot better.
You argue all the time. That's a sign that you aren't compatible. You are not in sync, you have different wave lengths. You may love him, care for him, and he for you. But that doesn't mean you should be together. Love is never enough. If you care for each other you can be friends, but a relationship is impossible if all you do is argue and it makes you feel unhappy. A good relationship should make you feel happy and great, and make you into a better person. A bad relationship takes all your energy, leaves you drained and miserable. You're in a bad relationship.
Yes, it is time to walk away. Not because of anything he did wrong, and not because you did anything wrong. You're both probably great people. You're just not a good match, that's all. But that's no reason to be enemies... just end the relationship before you start hating each other.

Just write him a letter or an email, and tell him what you are thinking. Say that you are thinking of walking away. That will get a reaction out of him. If he acts indifferent (like he doesn't really care), it might be time to walk away.
It's a tough world for everyone. He might be taking you for granted because he is currently going through a bad time.
