The way I've ever approached it has always been a “okay, boyfriend knows it, has accepted it, still loves me, bring it on”. Even if it happens just try to act super natural and cool yourself down. I know it's pretty tough and easier said than done, but the more calmed and not stressed you can feel the better. We tend to demonize ourselves too much about stuttering and judge ourselves far worse than how others judge us.
