I keep getting cut off So I’m talking to this guy. I’ve been talking to him for a few months now, and he’s been starting to really tick me off. I’ve told him that I have a stutter and that I need to be able to finish my sentence without getting cut off because sometimes I cannot repeat myself BUT HE JUST KEEPS CUTTING ME OFF. sometimes I let it slide and wait for him to finish his thought so I can continue and then he DOES IT AGAIN. Yesterday specifically I was trying to make a statement, and he kept cutting me off every time I tried to speak. And when I asked him if he’s done so I can finish, and he said “yes..” HE DID IT AGAIN. UGHHH. He keeps telling me that it’s a joke or that he can’t help it, it’s a habit, but I’m just so fed up with it, because I constantly remind him that I have a stutter. Yesterday he told me I was butthurt because I remained silent after the conversation and eventually just hung up the phone. Can someone tell me if my reaction is valid? This isn’t the only time this has happened. Sorry about the paragraph— I just needed to rant. :/
