Let me just start by saying this is just my opinion. Everyone will have different views regarding this situation and at the end of the day, it's your decision.
What I do know for sure is your boyfiend didn't give enough time to get over the breakup before he started his relationship with you. Nine years is a long time and it must be hard to move on, plus you have only been with him for 3 months, so your relationship isn't exactly the most serious at the moment, even if you want it to be.
Staying with him will be hard and I'm sure you're aware of this. For it to work you will need to take it slow.
Personally though, if I were in your position, I would hate to walk away, but I think I would have to, to prevent myself from getting hurt and having my feelings grow, only for things to come to an abrupt end, leaving me broken and feeling like a fool.
