I’m glad you’re going to confess. I’m 30 and have stuttered all my life. I find it best in relationships to just be honest from the start. Hiding it only makes it worse for my stutter because my anxiety makes it worse. I understand fearing what people think of you (I’ve been bullied all my life)…but at the end of the day, the people who truly love you won’t care if you have a stutter. I’ve had guys stop talking to me when I told them and I accepted they just weren’t my person. I finally found my person and I was just honest about everything from the jump. He doesn’t stutter, so I explained everything about it to him…my triggers, words I struggle on, my fears of meeting his family and them judging me, etc. He took the time to listen and try to understand from my perspective. I hope your girlfriend gives the understanding and love you 100% deserve. Just don’t hide who you are anymore. The people meant for you will accept you.
