My husband has a stutter, and it feels weird to call it "cute" exactly, but from the very first time I met him I really admired him for how he managed the world with it. That made him very attractive to me. I know even more now about how hard it was for him (and our younger son who has inherited it) to deal with it as a child/ teen/young adult, to the point where he now runs huge meetings for his company where he has to speak in front of hundreds of people on a regular basis. His persistence in working through and with it has only increased my regard as I've come to know more about it.
