Telling the guy I'm seeing that I stutter... I know it shouldn't be too hard but I'm having a hard time disclosing to the guy that I'm currently seeing that I have a speech impediment. Just afraid that he's going to think less of me. We recently had a video chat because he's abroad and I'm sure he noticed it a bit. He's been nothing but a gentleman so I'm definitely going to tell him soon. Just needed to vent on Reddit. Thanks for reading guys! 🥺 Update: He was totally lovely about it. He said that he likes that I carefully use my words and think before I speak. He says he prefers that to his usual ramblings! In short, he’s a keeper. 💛
