For the first time in my life, I was told my stutter wasn’t annoying When my bf and i first got together ( nearly 2 years ago ), I told him over text that I stutter and he said that was okay. Over the past couple years, I’ve tried to “suppress” my stutter so I wouldn’t annoy him ( I would change what I was saying if I felt I was going to stutter ). But I got rlly mentally exhausted by doing so, and I js allowed myself to stutter, which over the span of my life I had come to accept my stutter and was okay with it until I got worried that he might get mad by it. I stuttered otp with him and I apologized for it and he said no don’t apologize, and I said that I was sorry that it was annoying and he said that it doesn’t annoy him, he actually thinks it’s cute, and that was sooo shocking to me bc nobody except my family has ever said I wasn’t annoying bc of it. 🥹🥹🥹
