Hey you guys,

My SO and I have been together for about 7 months, and it's great, we have a really good relationship. We chat a lot, and we talk about important stuff, but when it comes to communicating our feelings and desires regarding our relationship, we both have a really hard time. We've both had really bad/abusive relationships in the past and we're both "damaged goods", but we are really close, we support each other and there's definitely a lot of love there. 

Neither of us is comfortable having The Talks, but there are issues that need to be discussed, like what kind of relationship are we to have, what we want out of this, basically all the stuff that you're supposed to talk about when you're crossing the threshold between dating and long term relationship.

We have the dedication and the passion parts down, all we need is tackle communication. 

Can you guys give us some advice on how to open up to each other?
<bot>: Been seeing each for 6 months, we both have trouble with communicating our feelings verbally. We just don't know how. Help please?
