From the get go, I would not disclose you stutter or put it in your profile. Just don’t. My dh was a good communicator via text. The first time I asked to call him he told me he had a “childhood” stut...

I've had people ask once or twice when I was younger, but it's definitely not a question I get often - Which is surprising, because I *do* actually have Tourette's lmao. I should probably be mad at ...
