It does sound like he is enjoying his girlfriend and also keeping you around as backup in case the girlfriend doesn't work out. Of course if the girlfriend does work out he'll marry her and leave you behind. This really isn't fair to you at all.

Tell him you are very happy that he's got a girlfriend and that it's inappropriate for him to string you along like this - and it's also pretty much cheating on his girlfriend. Ask him if this girlfriend knows about all the presents and so on. Ask him if the girlfriend knows that he's talking about a future with you. That's really unfair to his girlfriend, that she's being used like this.

I would put some space between you two for a while, to have him decide what he's going to do and to let yourself get some bearing on this as well.
