We met online and then started talking over the phone, then met in real life etc....and here we are discussing serious stuff, like marriage. :) Some days it's really bad and other days you barely notice it. I don't know :) after talking through text I could tell he was a wonderful guy. Plus he's handsome (in my eyes...but idgaf what my friends/ppl think they can screw tf off) hehe. So when he stuttered on the phone and on our first few dates I didn't even notice (honest!) and I never pointed out or made him feel bad. How could I?!? Having a disability myself. Turns out each of us was so scared the other wouldn't like us bc he and his stutter and me with my ADHD/meds. Once, I had a bad meltdown and felt like a complete failure and he reassured me...didn't run away or think I was psycho, didn't run when I told him I took meds... So I knew it then that he was the one. Other guys ran for the hills :( ADHD sucks for dating too. Anyway, he did have trouble with relationships and told me how his exes would laugh or belittle, and I just felt like punching them. He worked really really hard to get to where he is and manages his stutter well. I on the other hand....feel like an aimless idiot, but for some reason he loves me (thank god!)
