Let me share my dating and marriage story, perhaps it'll help? Or at least give some perspective. I def took a while to start dating, my first relationship was when I was 19 and in college. It lasted a few months with an amicable break (to be fair it was my first relationship so I didn't know SHIT about being a good partner). My second relationship was a few years later in college and it lasted about....2 years? We separated after graduation. My 3rd was after college and we were together for over 5 years! After that I spent about 6 years single figuring my life out and what I wanted from life. 6 years ago I found my current partner and we celebrated our 1 year marriage anniversary in August! I want to make sure it's understood, in all my various relationships my moderate stutter has NEVER been a factor. Everyone I've dated has decided to be with me because of who I am, seeing right past the surface level speech issue to the real meat of who I am (even if I was blind to it). I will admit, starting dating when you stutter can really be scary. It sure as shit was for me! You got this!
