Stutterer 37F here and I've only every encountered one other woman stutterer in my life. Married for 8 years, but I can recall my stuttering hindering my confidence when dating. Especially since one guy, when I was 21, told me that I should have warned him that I stuttered because it was off-putting. That stuck with me for years. I've gotten to the point where I am comfortable with my stutter. The last time I can recall feeling bad about it is when I thought my speech impediment was the reason for my son's speech delay, along with the fact that he was premature. That may have been true, but he is 5 and fully caught up, so that bit of guilt was for nothing.
