College, he was my best friend before we started dating. My stutter wasn't very noticeable earlier, but off lately it has increased a lot. To a point where I think twice before speaking in social gatherings and choose my words carefully before speaking them. I also try to speak as less as possible. But with him, I can speak my heart out. Often after I read a book and I'm excited about it, I blurt out the entire plot to him. And I stammer a lot while doing so, but he stays and listens patiently. That's always one of the things that makes me feel comfortable about us, since stuttering is my biggest insecurity.
