Unless he's gone to counselling to learn how to treat a wife and child, then you should stay right where you are. What he is doing is physical and mental abuse. Abusers don't stop, and when he has you alone in an apartment, it will get worse.
He has shown you how he treats you, he's insulted you, he's claimed the baby isn't his, and he will continue the same behavior. Does he support the baby? If not, why not?
This guy isn't a boyfriend, he's a user and an abuser, and you need to get rid of him, and find someone who will treat you decently. Don't say you love him, because you can't love someone who abuses you.
Why would you even consider being in a relationship with a guy that treats you like this and put your child in an abusive situation?
Welcome to the board sweethmommy.
I would be very wary of moving in with him. If he really wants a relationship with you and your son, and he really is interested in changing his behavior, then the two of you can go to counseling prior to moving back in together. Once he has you in that apartment, it will be much more difficult for you to get away if things do go bad. Take time to date each other and feel confident in your choice prior to moving in. If it's a good relationship, it will be able to withstand waiting for the right time to live together.
Meanwhile, you will discover whether he is able to address his behavior, or if you need to move in a different direction.
