I was just watching this movie and this guy told his buddy that he thought he was losing his woman (things were not so rosey in their relationship) but they were not broken up yet, and then a little while after that she did leave him. So I'm wondering if people always see it coming beforehand or if it's more often a surprise.
I've always felt it, even when I didn't want to admit it. I knew it was happening mainly when they would become more distant. You know, not as actively participating in conversations, not asking me as much, not trying as hard to be together etc.

Exactly 10 days before we broke up. I vividly remember thinking to myself "I need to find a way out of this marriage" when she suddenly snapped at me for no reason in front of a group of people we all knew. I was embarrassed and stunned especially because that never happened before.
But there was another incident that happened 3 weeks before that should have put doubts in my mind it was about to end.
So it was pretty sudden but not without warning. We were together 8 years and broke up June, 2007.
Most often there is a noticeable decline in interest, or behavior. Or some form of becoming more distant. That of course does not always signal the end, but it can be an indication.
All the responses above I believe are true for myself.
I also think it's easier to "see the signs" the more you've been through. For example, I never saw it coming with my first boyfriend. Now, with my current, I can sniff out any sort of distress a mile away.

I just can't see the percentage in hanging on and worrying all the time.
This is how it works for me too.
I'm not remotely interested in prolonged drama and all of the "he said,she said" crap...doesn't matter..
