I haven't seen anyone raise this point, but if you are quite fresh into this relationship with your partner who stutters, perhaps time is the answer. The more time you have been together, the less 'chafing' or unfamiliar certain characteristics about a partner will be. I think this can apply to a stutter too. My stutter is currently mild but I have a lifestyle that protects me from being exposed to public speaking incredibly often. Quite lucky and I'm happier like this. I still have conversations with my partner daily and we visit family & talk with them. It's manageable. Before this change, a year ago I had a job where I'd verbally give an update to a team of 5 every morning on Zoom - I stuttered so much on those! But it worked as exposure therapy and I realised that personally a lot of my triggers (for the stutter to activate) were psychological, like genuinely believing people were harshly judging me and hating me, even when they did not say anything about it. As for my partner, he is completely used to it now. He used to get a bit impatient when I'd order bus tickets for us in the first year of our relationship, but he barely notices when I stutter now. Even now it's better, I go through 'flare ups' sometimes where even at home I struggle to say words/flow through my sentences. Recently during one of these flare-ups I asked him if it bothered him, and he said he hadn't even noticed! So, maybe it depends on your own adaptability, but I think familiarity can breed tolerance. Also the more of your life you spend with this person who matters to you, and the deeper your love and connection to them becomes, the more you'll see that the stutter is not really what is important. By that, I mean it is an exterior thing, objectively speaking. There is the internal (subjective) aspect of how your partner *feels* about it (believe me I know), but I'm sure like most stutterers, if he was to live in a world where everybody was totally accepting of his stutter and didn't find it annoying in the slightest, he wouldn't be bothered by it! (unless he aspires to be a public speaker/give speeches). A person is so much more than a stutter.
