So sorry to hear that this is causing such an issue between the two of you. Infertility can definitely make or break any relationship, even if you think it's rock solid. There are some environmental changes that can be made, like not smoking, staying away from excessive heat, etc to possibly improve the morphology but we've found in our case it doesn't necessarily mean it's golden. Just because he had the surgery doesn't mean it fixed the issue, I'd recommend a repeat SA. As far as his feelings you do need to be just as sensitive to them as he is to your desire to have children. It's not easy for men to hear that the problem lies with them, they don't know how to respond to such a punch in the gut. I understand his timing could have been better but what's in the past is in the past, look toward the future. Check things out online and find out what you can do to further increase your chances. I know GNC has stuff called Mega Man and Fertility Blend for Men that might help his reproductive health as well. Anything is worth a shot.
