Courting Disaster


Courting Disaster, my weekly comic about sex, love, and relationships updates every Friday. You’ll laugh your pants off.

This week’s question:

I’m 36 years old and single, but I’ve been dating this guy for six years. He’s 29, and he has a girlfriend and kids too. She doesn’t know about me, and his sex is so good, I can’t let go. He can’t either. We can’t go out because everybody knows who were are; he’s from the neighborhood. So he comes over after everybody else has gone to sleep. What should I do about this? –Too Bad He’s Too Good

Go on over and offer some advice.
