"Came out" to my boyfriend yesterday. Yesterday in honor of national stuttering awareness week I decided to bite the bullet and tell my boyfriend I stutter. I was terrified as my stutter is the most vulnerable part of me. This is my first boyfriend and I was scared he would leave me if I confessed. But all was well and his positive reaction made me like him even more! Just a small victory I wanted to share.
