<human>: I've been with my current girlfriend since the end of high school and we're both finishing up our 3rd year at (the same) uni. 

A couple weeks ago a switch sorta flicked for me... I'd been thinking that things hadn't been right for a while. The biggest issue for me is that there seems to be some sort of compatibility issue that we just can't overcome. I feel like I have trouble connecting with her on a really deep emotional level. I'm not entirely sure of the reason for this -- I sort of attribute it to the fact that music is a huge part of my life and she doesn't really appreciate music that much. But there's also a disconnect in other ways.

We had a talk about exactly this about a year ago when I started to feel like things weren't heading in the right direction, and bless her she really tried to work on some of the things we talked about (as did I on the things she suggested). She made such an effort, but I know that she's never going appreciate these things the way that I need my lover to. The thought of leaving somebody who has tried so hard to take an interest in my life sickens me.

Anyways, that's the very condensed summary of the situation. The problem is that we're both currently in the middle of exams and I don't think it's right to end a 3.5 year relationship at a time when it could potentially affect her academic future. She has only one left about a week from now, but I just feel so incredibly stressed. It's been really screwing up my own studying (to the extent that today I bombed a final for the first time ever...).

I guess what I'm looking for is reassurance that I'm doing the right thing by waiting... It is the right thing to do isn't it? It's just taking a mental toll on me... And frankly it feels really wrong for me to make love with her to keep up appearances that everything is normal.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Holding off on breaking up with her til the end of her exams -- it feels wrong to lie. Am I doing the right thing?
