Communication

So me and my boyfriend aren’t that great at communicating with each other especially about serious things bc I think we just find it awkward/uncomfortable and neither of us were raised in a way to be open with each other. But lately we’ve been starting to get more comfortable talk about more and more things that couples should (like sex, where this relationship is going, cheating & how we would feel/what we would do etc.) we’ve been together for 7 months so do you think it’s bad that we’ve only just started being more open with each other?
