Hi there! Your post made me sign up in here to share my own insights as a stutterer. First of all, your guy is very lucky having a girl like you who cares! I'm 34 and have been stuttering heavily since age 7 or so. I really do stutter quite a lot, but being very open about it and trying to embrace it with humour and jokes has brought me a very long way in life. I'm approaching my 10 year anniversary in the architectural firm I work in, I have good friends and a girlfriend that I love very much. Many people don't have a clue whats going on when stutterers begin to stutter. Am I making fun of them? Is it because I'm stupid? Am I mocking them? That's why, while I was still dating or when meeting new people now, I'm always looking for an opportunity to talk about my stutter - like "hey, if you're wondering why I'm talking funny, it's because I stutter ;-)" and encouraging people to tell me, if they don't get what I'm saying or have any questions at all about stuttering. Going on Tinder-dates I would preferably bring it up on the first date - it kind of takes the edge off and shows people, that you're cool and relaxed about yourself. It's very difficult to give general advice on the subject as we all have our own ways of dealing with it, but however, my advice would be this: ask questions and encourage your boyfriend to be open about it! It might be difficult for him to open up, but just keep asking genuine questions. Being a stutterer requires an immense amount of daily stamina - some days I feel like I can do anything, others I barely open my mouth for anything else than eating. However, being open about it helps a lot! By default, most stutterers are crazy nervous about other peoples judgement (I always see and hear myself in 3rd person when I'm beginning to stutter hard in a conversation, wondering what the other person might think), but by acknowledging it and showing that you're aware, but cool (even though you might now feel that way), the pressure will slowly go away. Hope this helps a bit!
