Soulmate...bad timing?

I guess I must start at the beginning. Several months ago my wife and I separated and are currently waiting for the state mandated separation requirement to be up so we can divorce. We have exhausted all avenues and are beyond reconciliation. I started talking to a girl soon after the separation and we went out a few times. We both developed feelings and soon were in a relationship. (not something I was looking for) She is a junior in college and a very serious student. She goes to school about an hour and a half away from where I live and started school soon after we began seeing one another. We are completely in love. Soulmates. No question. However, the timing.....my divorce not being final....her still in school. we found ourselves under extreme pressure. She constantly texted and called me. We talked on the phone for hours. All of this lead to her having to drop cles to avoid substandard grades. Everything finally came to a head last week and we agreed to go our separate ways for now. During the last 7 days we have both had trouble letting go at one point or another. We know we are meant to be together. How do we know when the time is right? What will it take for her to balance us and school? I have my own thoughts but I need to hear others. I am hoping to gain another perspective or validation. I am just so sad and alone right now....even in a crowded room...I look for her everywhere. I just want to know if I am doing the right thing.
