I approached my wife in the street and I stuttered. We've been together 10 years. I remember fearing if I'd stutter then asked myself the question “ would you rather potentially embarrass yourself for a few seconds, or live a lifetime not knowing”. I think a lot of time people look to you to how to react with your stuttering ( or any issue for that matter) we sense each others energies. Women are particularly good at it. The less shits you give, the less shits they will give. My best mate admires me for thrndact I will walk up and speak to anyone because I really don't give a shit. We are hear for a blink of an eye.
