Feeling a bit down Hey all. I’m feeling a bit down because it seems like my partner of 4 years is fed up with my speech impediment. My speech block has seem to worsen and I am finally taking speech therapy which is going well. During an argument my partner mentioned my speech impediment and mocked it (nodding his head up and down, imitating not being able to get a word out etc) and said that he has to deal with that on a daily basis. “Imagine having to deal with that?” Like yes, I’ve dealt with it my entire life. It really hurt my feelings and he has yet to apologize (this was a few days ago). I’m considering leaving him because I’m just so fed up and I would never do such thing. It makes me wonder about what strangers think when they speak to me. Anyway, thanks for reading this far... I guess I just needed to rant. Have you ever dealt with a significant other saying mean things in regards to your speech impediment? How did you deal with it? Thank you, much love. EDIT: Thank you to everyone who has responded to this post, it means a lot to me. The sense of community here is exactly what I needed and I really appreciate it. I am making plans to move out. Our relationship has seen many many issues, but I thought things were getting better (heh, they aren’t). Anyway, again thank you all so much. You’ve helped my day/evening feel a lot less lonely. Much love!
