Office romance: all eyes on you! By Yetunde Arebi
The work environment, just as the name implies is a place one expects to go and get the job done. It is often times, a sterile, stiff place where there is a lot of pretence and egocentric behaviour.

My husband ogles other women
My husband’s problem is that he can’t stop himself staring at other women. That is how he was when we met and foolishly, I thought marriage would calm him down but it hasn’t after six years of marriage. His argument is that every man looks at other women, no matter how happily married he is, and that he is being open. But I hate hearing that another woman has great legs or fantastic boobs.
