if they can't "deal" with your stuttering then they aren't worth it. I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life with someone that closed-minded, would you? Your stutter is part of who you are. There are tools you can try out to manage it, but it's up to you to use them. Sometimes I feel like using them, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I use them, and I still stutter bad. Other times I don't use them at all, and I speak fluently. Either way, let people hear you. They need to hear what we sound like, so that we can tell them it's ok.
