Boyfriend Advice Hi all! I’ve been dating my boyfriend for the past 10 months who has a stutter. I always do my best to do what I can to make him feel comfortable. Whether it be making eye contact, making sure I’m never cutting him off or finishing his sentences, ordering for him(only if he asks me to), making some type of physical contact with him if I can’t make eye contact so he knows I’m listening(he says when it comes to me, this makes him feel assured), etc. I’ve even taught my close family and friends these same ‘rules,’ (besides the contact one of course lol) so as not to offend him or make him feel uncomfortable or different in any way shape or form. However, I’m always trying to do better and learn new things to help him be more comfortable and for me to be a better partner. So if there’s any tips, facts, or advice that I as a partner should know about, I’d love to learn more! Side note: If there’s anything I’ve said or described in this post that comes off as rude or ignorant, I deeply apologize. I still consider myself very new to this, however I am trying to learn and do better by him. Thank you
