I am 45 and know stuttering weighed me down the past 4 decades. Couldn't date till I was 24 and stayed away from relationships I really desired for fear I would be rejected. I'm married now to a great lady that didn't care if I stuttered. Infact, I hardly stutter in her presence. Keep trying. My advice is: don't let it define you. Tell the whole world you stutter and it eases off your challenge in most cases.
