My (28F) Boyfriend (30M) Opened Up The Topic of Marriage and Now Thinks I'm Using Him. I'm hurt

He was the one who brought it up and he would randomly tell me he's getting me a ring next year when I see him again. He would also talk about having kids with me and stuff.

I never opened it up first, it was him. It was him who randomly sent me a photo of rings on display at jewelry store, it was him who asked me to marry him and him who opened up marrying next year.

I don't talk much about my friends' but since I'm a bridesmaid in one and a maid of honor in another, I often tell him about it but only because I have part in those two upcoming weddings. My younger cousin also recently got engaged so I told him about that too only because it was news not because I wanted to bug him about it.

He also wanted buy at $7,000 watch and I only one-off jokingly told him that he could get the ring for way less.

To be honest throughout the relationship, I would send him things but he has not once sent me anything not even a card. He's also asking me to share for things shoes and bags for him both of which I have never asked from him
