It’s a pretty shitty ailment some of us have been dealt. I hear you my man. Don’t lose faith. There are plenty of awesome partners who will not think your stutter is a dealbreaker. Be yourself and let’s all hope some neuroscientific breakthroughs come soon for all of. It sucks, don’t ever let anyone tell you that are over reacting to having a stutter. Even some other stutterers don’t even pretend to validate feelings like those you’ve brought up. But a lot of us are here and will be here to help the best we can. I’m 44 and I’ve been stuttering since I can remember. It’s something I think about everyday. My family used to trivialize/minimize the effects it might have on me to the point that I could only read other people like you describe their feelings to feel validated myself. Be well my man.
