It seems like a good thing to do. BUT don’t make some big fucking deal about it. Just make a joke out of it. Don’t be like “So, there’s something I have to tell you about me...” Fuck that. Just be li...

I've been with my fiancé for almost 4 years now and my stutter has never bothered him. At first he would finish my sentences for me but after a rant about strangers doing just that to me, he stopped. ...

I disagree, don’t ask your girlfriend if it’s meant to be a positive thing or not. It’s up to you! How does it make you feel when she says it? Personally when people tell me my stutter is cute it fe...

Definitely tell her. I have found people don't treat me any differently when I am upfront about it, but instead it just makes me more comfortable and makes them more patient. ...

Most of the time I just dont mention it, then if I stutter when talking to them I make a comment about my stutter. Best thing is to bring it up organically...

Put it out there. Your stutter is part of you, you don't want to be with someone that is going to pre-judge you for it. Just be up front. If she has an issue with it then you've done yourself a fav...

Tell her for sure, otherwise she'll just be confused when you do happen to stutter, maybe picking it up as you being nervous. Once you don't make it your main topic of conversation, just bring it up ...

I’d say that you should. I can only speak from my own experience but I usually find that being open and honest about it comes off as being more confident - even if it wasn’t how I felt. Good luck on...

This is the best thing you can do. This is the only way I got through high school. I would show up early to the first day of class and tell them I have speech problem, so if they could not call out on...

There was no email in my school days but I would probably send them a short heads up note - polite but not apologetic. It may give them extra time to consider more emphasis on written tests rather tha...

Does your stutter effect your ability to participate? If not, In my experience just casually mention it before class or something, it’s not a huge deal to them if it’s not a huge deal to you you don’...

I disagree. I think it actually shows great confidence and great self image to disclose your stuttering. People end up being impressed because it shows that you're not hiding yourself. It also makes t...
