I had an abortion last spring due to being a poor, university student with no plans on being pregnant, and my boyfriend not holding down entry-level jobs. It was a topic of heated debate between my boyfriend and myself because he wanted the baby. We were living together at the time and things weren't perfect but we did love each other and still love each other very much to this day

Okay I'm going to skip a lot of the details and get straight to the point. He was morally against it, unlike myself. I never had any conflicting emotions about the abortion and I didn't feel any regret afterwards. I considered all the emotions someone on the opposite coin would feel and I realized that came down to seeing life for not what it is. My ideological point of view is much different from his, and I didn't see the life as anything but for what it was. There is nothing to hold onto from our imaginations of the baby, and it's possibilities are just concoctions of dreams. Basically, in my messy way of saying, I'm pro-choice and he's pro-life (neither of us are religious). 

He is currently going through a depression and accounts it to not fully being over the abortion and claims he still has left over resentment towards me. He does not want to seperate and neither do I and we both agree that it is something he needs to work through. I tried to find resources online for men who have emotional issues with abortions, but their is little besides websites trying to push an christian ideology or men who have regrets pushing their girlfriends into doing the abortion. 

So my question is have you or  any couples you know in long term ( we have been together for 6 years) committed relationship had an abortion and moved on from it? Particularly, what did they do to reconcile if one partner was for it and the other against? 

What advice would you give to my boyfriend on how to forgive me, overcome his anger issues and to move on?
