Thank you so much everyone, it’s fairly late and the boyfriend is currently sleeping. He doesn’t know I made this post but I try not to bring his stutter up unless it’s in a positive light. I got really emotional reading the comments thinking I could have possibly made him feel bad about it in any way. I just love him exactly the way he is. I find it important to mention that he has two kids (7 and 8) and his 7 year old has a stutter. If I’m ever to be a step mother it’s really important that as his youngest gets older, he sees his dad with someone that loves all of him. I want his son to grow up knowing that his stutter doesn’t make him less desirable as a person. It’s important that I build his confidence surrounding that because I’ve seen how much it’s effected his fathers self esteem. I’m going to really try to sit down and talk to my BF and ask him how I can help make him feel more empowered or comfortable. It’s very clear that it’s a question I need to ask even if it makes me nervous. Thank you all so much again for the insight. You can’t imagine how much it means to me.
