Yes! Been with my wife since 9th grade. Insecurities from my stutter sucked, my wife actually finds it cute which I appreciate it, still hard to come across and “cute” and “helpless” at work. But we have now been married three years, two children and am trying to learn how to be comfortable with my stutter raising kids. It’s hard to be taken seriously when you can’t get the words out correctly, but it has been an incredible experience. Me and my wife still talk a lot through text but I have an anxiety type of stutter so I’m comfortable enough with her that it is nearly non existent when it is just the two of us. You will find somebody who loves you for you, somebody shallow enough to leave over a speech impediment wouldn’t love you unconditionally anyway. You’ll find them.
