Where's the "It helped it" option?? ;) Seriously, when I was dating the women who is now my wife I said to her in one conversation that I have learnt to give myself permission to stutter. This resonated with her as it helped her be more accepting of aspects of her self that she thought she had to hide/change to fit in. As such it was a significant moment in our relationship and brought us a deeper connection. She's fluent but was able to see how stuttering has helped me become a more empathetic and patient person with myself and others.
