CASIGKAP,
He's probably stressed about the future--- getting that first job/into grad school/etc and marriage is too much of a "grown up" thing to even contemplate. I'd have a heart-to-heart with him--- apologize for pressuring him and remind him that you love him and support him, and you're here for him. I'm sure he'll appreciate it. Graduation and post-graduation are stressful--- you've grown accustomed to the "Virtual Reality" of college, and now you're expected to be a grown-up living in the real world-- jobs, car payments, a house, maybe grad school, marriage and babies. It is a very frightening prospect-- childhood and the bubble of college are gone.
Just because college is ending doesn't mean you need to have all of those things... unless of course, marriage is your top and only priority. In that case, you need to get out of this relationship and find someone who is ready for that lifetime committment. But as someone who has been out of school for a few years, my best advice to you is to enjoy this time as a recent grad. These experiences will shape you tremendously and you can determine if your sweetheart really is "the one."
