Currently in relationship (4 years). I'm 25F and have stuttered my whole life and still incredibly embarrassed by it. BF has tried to be jokey about it to make me feel better but that honestly makes me feel worse. I asked him to just not acknowledge it. If I get stuck, just act as if I'm still talking and let me get myself out of it before saying/doing anything. I've asked just to have a blank affect and just be patient. Commentary or any acknowledge makes me cower.
