A woman who repeatedly asks a man she knows to be gay when he's going to get married and have children is not trying to let sleeping dogs lie.

It's so difficult to figure out how to offer support and also be honest with someone you love who's in a damaging relationship without making them feel defensive and retreating even further into isolation.

As you feel increasingly comfortable around your friends, I think it's more than fine to share the basic details of your heroin addiction with them.
