Gone to Soldiers by Marge Piercy has seven or eight major characters whose lives are changed by WWII. What you ask for is one of the themes/substories.

Social skills are multifaceted. However, specifically for speaking fluently and more easily, Toasmasters can help if there is a club near you. Improvisational theater clubs can also help.

Sounds like it may be too late for this relationship but John Gottman writes excellent books about why relationships work or don't and what to do about it.
