Hey ! I'm in my 20s and I met my gf 2 years and my stutter is not a problem in my relationship ! I have a light/mild stutter so it's not very visible when I try to mask it but I talked about that with my now gf in the beginning of our relationship : even if it's not a problem for her she know how it can be difficult to me and what are the consequences of my stutter in life. I absolutely believe that you can find love and friendship even with a disability, and people who don't accept you aren't going to be good people for you anyway, But I also think that it is important to sometimes share with our loved ones what we are experiencing because they do not know what it might be like. Also I think it's really important to find people who WANT to listen to us and these people will not care about how you stutter, how many times you repeat a sentence or anything. Good Luck 🫶
