I am also covert. I went years and years without being noticed, I could hide it so well. Too well. Been with my boyfriend for almost 8 years now, it took me atleast 4 years into the relationship to tell him.. I was petrified he would look at me differently and even now I sometimes have this fear in the back of my mind that one day he’s gonna wake up and fall out of love with me. Sometimes I think he deserves someone who is fluent, and can give him more than I give him out of a conversation.. however, my speech took a very dark turn recently and I’m currently going through a really bad patch of speech.. I can no longer hide it. And my boyfriend has been sooo supportive and when I speak, he doesn’t make a face, smirk or anything at all. He patiently waits or he will do anything he can to help. I promise you, if she is the right one and if she loves you for you, she will not care and she will be nothing but supportive. At the end of the day, they chose us for the qualities we have, and I tell myself if someone is right for you, nothing will stop them from loving every part of you. Even the parts we are insecure about. Tell her when you feel like it’s the right time and go all in, don’t be apprehensive - be completely unapologetic. Stutter or not, if her love is real for you, she will feel so terribly bad for laughing at that video and be more understanding.
