Hi, as someone who has been dating someone with a significant stutter for years, I’ve always made sure to not make a big deal out of it. I was always more paranoid (and still am) for how others react to them, as I’m super protective and want the world to see how amazing my partner is. I have asked my partner a few times if there’s anything I can do to make them more comfortable, and the answer has always been treat them as normal. I will say there’s definitely times I have to catch myself not interrupting them when they talk and make sure to sit and let them finish their sentence. Just be cognizant, sounds like you already are :)
