Thank you for the response! I really appreciate it. We've been dating for 5 months and he doesn't usually stutter so much around me any more :O He's been insanely stressed recently though, which has exacerbated it and brought it to the forefront of my mind again. I don't bring it up unless he does, and he has these last few weeks for the purpose of berating himself. He insists there's something "wrong" with him, which is just heartbreaking and absolutely not true, yet "no there isn't" is about as an ineffective response as they come. Have any words of comfort worked particularly well for you over the years?
