They are both ambitious and have no plans to marry or procreate for 5 years. If it weren't for moving to another state and then may be again for new job, they would've waited until he did his MBA and she did her MS.[/quote]

Then why the rush to get engaged?  [/quote]

Exactly!  I think the mom is being practical and the girlfriend is being manipulative.  Ultimatums at 23?  That poor boy needs to run![/quote]

There is no ultimatum but she is reluctant to move. Who can blame her?[/quote]

Smart girl.  I refused to move for my boyfriend at age 24, so he proposed.  It’s been nearly 20 years and we are still happily married.  No way I was leaving my job and city without a ring.[/quote]

+1. It’s really not a lot to ask. But if the boy has mommy paying for mba, who’s buying the ring?[/quote]
Who is buying the ring? Is the girlfriend expecting a nice engagement ring? If he can't afford it without his mother's help, he shouldn't propose. [/quote]

He is working and earning well so buying a ring isn't an issue. GF is simple and not materialistic, he thinks she would prefer something inexpensive which she can wear without having to worry about loss or theft. [/quote]
