I have a stutter that's pretty much out there all the time. I did the online dating. I used to get the question, "how bad is it"? (Probably worse than you're thinking it is lol). At the end of my p...

It was never a really problem for any of the people I dated. With my current S.O though, I was upfront about it and mentioned it myself. We met online so I felt pressured to 'reveal' it before it came...

My wife likes my stutter. When it crops up, she knows when to let me figure it out, but also when to step in and ask for lettuce or whatever. Gotta tell her she is so beautiful that she takes your wo...
