"Abusive" is a strong word. It doesn't look like he's done anything to quite "earn" that description from the information given. "Mama's boy" is also an unjust insult as he has a perfectly good and logical reason for moving in with his mum. Just because someone is having relationship issues doesn't mean you get to insult their significant other. Have you not considered the possibility that he too may be having personal issues of his own?
As for my thoughts on the relationship, I wouldn't consider it completely messed up, but it also isn't ideal. "Ideal" {as far as my opinion goes} would be that both of you have similar plans for the future of your relationship. If one would like kids and the other would not, and if one wants to marry while the other does not, these are some major issues that need to be worked through, however that does not mean that the relationship cannot be salvaged.
Being that he's going through school plus has a full time job, he probably does not want to concern himself with building a family {this includes marriage} right now since he already has a lot on his plate. This is pretty normal for guys in college. What he says now concerning marriage and children should not be considered "set in stone" because it's very possible his thoughts on it will change after he feels he is stable enough mentally, physically {can't be much of a father if you're either at work or school all day and come home exhausted}, and financially to support a family.
Because of this and the fact he suggested abortion, I would not rule out that he at least had some kind of feeling of relief from the miscarriage, but I would not go as far as to say that he was "happy" about it. There is a difference. While some find children to be "a bundle of joy", they are also a source of additional stress. Worrying about working full time and finishing college, plus having to support a baby and the mother is a lot to handle... while not impossible, it is a situation most guys would want to avoid. However, even if he does not want children right now, that doesn't mean he was "happy" about a miscarriage. For him to be "happy" implies that he feels no remorse or grief for the loss nor for you to have gone through it, which isn't necessarily the case.
On a side note concerning love... do not be so quick to call something "love". As soon as you slap the "love" label on something, it's harder to make decisions regarding the relationship that would normally have been easy to logically work through. While I can't tell you whether or not it really is love since I am not in the situation, I can tell you that love is a two-way thing, which means that it's only love if the person loves you back. Otherwise, it is just one person with admiration, lust, or whatever for someone else.
With this in mind, if you do not feel as if the "love" is being reciprocated, there is no need to stick around just because you're "in love". I have seen many {usually females} deny themselves a normal or better life because they were "in love" with someone who they either couldn't have or was no good. I can't say if this is the case for you, but it's something to keep in mind.
Your relationship does seem to be a bit rocky at the moment, but it is nowhere near complete ruin from what I can tell. All relationships have high points and low points. If the lows outweigh the highs with no resolution in sight, then it might be time to reevaluate the relationship.

ah yes... the "I've never felt like this before" feeling. I had that many times, and each new time I thought to myself, "wow, I was so stupid last time. This time it's the real thing!" I feel like kicking myself just thinking about it.
Considering why you feel the way you do really helps to analyze just how deep your feelings are. Looking back on all the times I thought I was in love, I know exactly what it was I was feeling and why I was feeling it.... and it actually makes me feel a bit shallow despite how "deep" I thought it was at the time stare However, don't take this to mean that you are not in love... just as a way to make sure.
Also, just because there are things about your partner that you don't like doesn't mean that it might not be love. I'm sure if you ask any happily married couple if there are things about their spouses that they don't like, they could give you a list {unless they're in denial or they are straight out of some kind of fairy tale}. Being in love doesn't mean agreeing on everything and them always doing things that you like and never things you don't like.
No matter who it is you're with, you're going to find things you don't like about them after knowing them for so long. Even if they were your clone, you could end up annoyed that they are too much like you. The idea isn't to find someone that has nothing that you don't like, but rather someone that sort of completes your life I guess. I can't actually describe exactly what you need to look for because each person is different... just know that there very likely will never be someone that doesn't have flaws or undesirable features/personality traits. No one is perfect.

Whoa, that's intense. I can't say that I've been in the exact same thing, but I've been in something similar and oddly enough, while I was going through it I found myself reading he's just not the into you. The whole time I was reading the signs and still ignored them because I thought I was in love with the guy. We had dated once before, I kissed the guitarist in my band and instead of getting engaged, I got dumped right before we were supposed to go on a trip together, where he was going to purpose. So after going our seperate ways for a while we found our way back to each other, I thought it was fate. I thought that that was it, we were destined to be together and I was fully commited to it... but he wasn't. I was trying to move out to Cali durring that time and while I wanted to stay with him, even if it ment a long distance relationship, he was very hesitant. He kept telling me not to let him hold me back, to just keep going and that we could always be friends if anything happened. Everything with him had changed. He had become a smoker, a cutter and a was only a small sliver of his life, I had to change my hours at work just to make sure I got a chance to see him once a week and even then if his friends wanted to do something anything with me took the backseat. Anyway, long story short.... You need to drop that guy like a bad habbit. I know it's not what you want and I can understand wanting something more than what you had. But you need someone better than all this. Yes, we all have rough times in relationships, but sometimes "the first red flag is the only one you need".
