I'm going to make some very different recommendations to most of the people here. I do stutter, but can completely understand your frustrations with it - it's frustration we all have on this subreddit *and have had to learn to cope with, usually from childhood* What I'm getting at, is that we've all had SO much longer than you have to accept the negativities that our stutters bring - the alienation, social isolation, the sadness, frustration, fear, anxiety, lack of self-worth, and all of the other things that stuttering brings. Ultimately, for your relationship to work, you're going to have to learn patience, in the same way that we've all had to. This is hard - it will take time. Some questions: Do you acknowledge that he's trying his best? Do you understand that this is *involuntary*, in much the same way that your ADHD is? Have you discussed with him about his feelings towards the problem? Is his stutter something he *wants* to work on, or is he happy enough with the way he is right now? If his stutter is something that he wants to work on, then I'd definitely recommend encouraging him to attend regular speech therapy - at minimum once a month for a year - *and also helping him out with this*; work through the speech exercises with him: make sure he does them every night, show him you want to go on that journey with him, show him you want to put in the effort to make things better. This will help to make him more comfortable and that will make conversation easier. I think you're already taking some good steps with getting treatment for your ADHD. This should help too! Best of luck!
