Is this a sub about unconditional love or is this about stuttering? You’re making a ton of assumptions here about OP and you are completely missing the mark. OP is sharing with us what their emotions, feelings, and thoughts are. How do you know how the husband is being treated? Further you’re not even offering anything constructive beyond basically saying you need to throw more “love” at the problem. If that were a solution, stuttering wouldn’t exist. This person obviously loves their husband. How else do you stay married? Beyond that, coming on to this sub, voicing how you genuinely feel, and asking for help and insight is a huge step in being supportive, regardless of how it comes across. Can you for one second actually think what it takes for this couple to be together, this partner wanting to help the husband, and looking for any resource to do so? Can you maybe offer something constructive instead of criticizing a relationship you know nothing about? In my relationship, I’m the husband when it gets bad. I hate it. It gets better when my wife and I talk about it. If you think for one second she isn’t living through it the same way I am, then you just don’t understand how stuttering affects those around you. I would tell her she’s full of shit If she didn’t feel like I do when I stutter which is embarrassed, mortified, frustrated, angry, annoyed, I can go on forever with the negative emotions. Sharing these feelings is a game changer because it turns this into a positive thing for us. We’re in this together. I’m not some charity case that needs special attention. She’s in this with me and we’re both working on it. We talk about how we both feel about my stuttering, bluntly, and directly, and believe it or not it helps me more than any therapy or practice ever has.
