I don't know if it's all right for me to post a response to this question, even though I'm not on the panel. But I would like to mention that I met my wife Liv BECAUSE I stutter! Liv is a fluent speaker (of many languages), but has had a mysterious fascination with the disorder of stuttering and people who stutter since early childhood. I was a 45-year-old bachelor when Liv found me at a stuttering-related website close to 12 years ago. We fell in love very quickly. We met each other in cyberspace in January 2000; we first met in person in April of that year; we were engaged in May, and married in September. For decades I had similar concerns as you have, and was wondering if stuttering would be a hindrance in finding a life mate. I dated many women, but nothing became really serious. But finally I struck gold! Keep on trying - you just never know!
