I was in the Navy as Corpsman with the Marines 3/1 for 7 years. My gf is always hyping that part of me up. Which forces me to talk when I don’t want to and when I don’t to talk my stutter comes in. When I’m hung over my stutter is even worse. I recommend forcing yourself to talk more, ordering food, talking on the phone and reading out loud slowly and read more books cause it helps finding different words that flow easier. For me this has helped a lot. Talking, I feel is a expression of freedom and how you feel and it helps you be independent. I still struggle but I found someone who looks past my stutter and loves me for me….somehow. Good luck Im glad you found someone to share your time with.
