Please don’t be afraid. 1% of the population stutters at some level and the official has already come across many, many PWS. Like others have said, begin by saying that you stutter. It might take a co...

I'm first going to mention the obligatory cliche "if it bothers him, you don't want to be with him anyway". If you're very anxious about it, you may feel better telling him. You don't have to make a w...
