What woman would ever date a man who stutters? I've been stuttering since I was 12. It's changed my life in every way possible. I can barely say my name and It's so humiliating. Should I just accept that fact that I'll die alone? I went to speech therapy, it worked for a bit, but I just fell right back into stuttering. The worst part is I don't stutter like t-t-this. My stutter is mainly all blocks.
