My husband has a stutter we have been together many years and have children and grandchildren. Over the years his stutter hasn't really been talked about much but we do have 2 things we do .Having to repeat if someone doesn't hear first time causes my hubby big problems so in certain situations (not with family/friends but in more formal situations) I will say it the 2nd time. The other is phone calls which are extremely difficult for him then I do most of the official ones .This he agrees with and it works for us .
