[UPDATE]Me [21 F] engaged after 2 months of knowing each other and dating with my boyfriend [20 M] duration, short-description

Link to Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/relationshi..._knowing_each/ Original tl;dr He was dating someone for 4 months before me and started dating me after 2 months of that breakup...is this a red flag? EDIT: After reading all the replies, I have come to the conclusion that I need to have a serious talk to him to slow things down( he set the wedding for April next year) I m thinking of giving back the ring
So I talked to him Saturday night, it took everything I got and I was scared. I eased him by starting to talk about what we each wanted in terms of career path, where we want to live, kids etc...found out that he wants four and I only want one lol.After the light talk, I expressed my concerns that we might be rushing things, and I gave him his ring back...he started to cry and at first I was starting to feel really guilty, he was going nuts and I was a little scared but I was able to calm him down. I told him that we should call off the wedding and that didn't go down well, he called me names and claimed that I didn't really love him. I told him I want to work things out, that we can be together but not married for now, not engaged. He said that he needs space and time to think, it has been almost 3 days now and he won't talk to me, won't answer my text and he won't see me. His mom has been posting stuff on his facebook wall about relationships and stuff. I reached out to the girl he was dating for 4 months before we started dating 2 months later and she told me that he had proposed to her and that is why the broke up, with the same ring he claimed to have bought for me using his savings...needless to say, I feel gutted, should have probably contacted the ex-first but I didn't want to be that guy and I was in love. I still have feelings for him, just can't turn them off but I now know that being with him will bring me tears, I am tempted to try to salvage the relationship but I won't be, going to take time for myself away from everything.Thank you so much to everyone who answered on my post, this has been a very sobering experience and I hope to grow from it. I really appreciate all the replies, it made me feel like I was not crazy for all the concerns I had been having.

tl;dr: Gave back the ring, told him I still wanted a relationship, he hasn't talked to me in almost 3 days and I found out he had proposed to the ex which is why they broke up.Going to take time for myself

The OP has promise...

1. A rebound relationship
2. A marriage proposal to rebound girl
3. A marriage proposal to the first girl which ended in a breakup
4. The guy's mom posting about relationships and stuff on Facebook.
5. Rebound girl giving the ring back.

9/10 on the trashy scale. All it needs is sex with a cousin to top out at 10
