That assumption might be valid, but I would have to see some scientific evidence it before I regard it as a fact. Secondly, this is a stuttering group so its highly unlikely that I will find somone here who doesn't stutter. If you find a stuttering group for non-stutterers let me know so I can go and search for somone there. Thirdly, I'm a situational stutterer, so I really wont be affecting my partner much add to that the fact that I tend to be more relaxed around people who stutter so I rarely ever stutter in those situations.
