Best of luck. I can only imagine how difficult this has all been. I think keeping the new potential SO a bit at length while you sort through things is the right call but I’m also a random internet person with only the info you presented, so “take with a grain of salt” for sure lol.
If they start love bombing or similar just be direct and clear with them. You like them, you see something there, but it needs to come with time and dumping all these feelings on you as you go through this separation is not productive. Just my 2 cents.
