How did I get over my stuttering.
I think that it was my wife that helped me get over it but it was without ever talking about stuttering. It was instead a process where things seemed to get slowly better. She has two attributes that really helped.
The first is that she is a positive person and never sees things in a negative light. If we go somewhere and the store is closed she will pick a new errand and simply change tasks instead of going home disappointed. It a glass breaks she simply accepts it and does not get upset. This is in sharp contrast to my upbringing which made life into one crisis after another.
Her second trait is she is a spiritual person and sometimes prays for others. While this is not in vogue today I think it really helps.
In summary the best advice I can give is to accept the stuttering and get on with your life. Try to be positive. I think that the more you concentrate on it the worse it will become.
The advice I would give on living with someone who stutters is to be as accepting as possible.
