I'm a first year med student with a stutter and I worry a lot about ending up in a situation where I get passed over for a residency spot because of it. You perfectly described how I feel when my stut...

addressing the elephant in the room has made things almost worse...? My bf and I were in a LDR for roughly 11 months, which made hiding it easier. I am usually quiet anyway though. Though he never men...

I'm going to have to disagree with most people here. I've had several girlfriends in the past tell me that it's cute, but I just feel sort of patronized. Like they're just saying it because it's a nic...

I used to feel that way about my husband's stutter, but after ten years, and a much better understanding of how it makes him feel, it's not cute anymore. It's hard to remember how adorable it is when ...
