You Asked: My Husband's Co-worker Is Crossing the Line

Dear Sugar,
My husband just began his first corporate job as a computer analyst. Since the day he started I've been hearing about another computer analyst that works there. Apparently she's fit, pretty cute, very nice, and quite successful.
Sunday Confessional: I Spread a Dirty Secret
I'm close with my team at work; we often meet for happy hours and even get together on the weekends. About a year ago we hired a new girl who became fast friends with the whole group, including me. But a few months ago something in her changed.
You Asked: My Coworker Expects Me to Lie on Her Behalf
Dear Sugar,
I am a receptionist at a successful company and the woman in the position above mine is bending our office rules and I don't know how to handle it. She's not my direct supervisor, but she's the one that gives me my breaks. Lately, she's been coming in late, and since I am the only one up front, I'm also the only one that sees her sneak in — she always asks me not to say anything.
This or That: Overly Sensitive or Totally Insensitive?
Recently you received a huge promotion at work, and since then you’ve had another woman reporting directly to you. While she’s been very helpful as far as getting things done, she seems to have some kind of imbalance. For the most part she’s very sweet and understanding, but sometimes she just seems to snap.
Handle This: Email Error
You’ve been stuck on an email chain headed by a girl from your office about an upcoming BBQ she's hosting. For over a week, she’s been driving you crazy with her cutesy remarks and annoying questions, and the back and forth with her friends appears to be endless.
When you get yet another reminder about the event, you're so fed up that you decide to forward the email to a friend, adding your own very sarcastic note about how annoying your coworker is.
Handle This: He Takes Another Woman as His Date
A business associate of your fiancé is having a huge and decadent wedding this weekend. He’s also a possible investor in your fiancé’s new start up, so it’s a schmoozing event too. Of course you’ve been planning on going, but when you come down with a horrible flu, there’s just no way you can make it.
Irritating coworker
More advice than therapy, but... Imagine Dwight from "The Office" but much more arrogant and creepy, and somewhat openly a sexual deviant, but above all, a total loser jerk. For example: I'm a good-looking girl, which encourages comments (across the room for the whole office to hear if they're listening) about how much I resemble such-and-such Suicide Girl.

Group Therapy: My Boyfriend Is Overly Flirtatious With Coworkers
The other day I caught my boyfriend having a flirty email exchange with his former coworker. I called the woman and found out that she has two kids and a husband.

Group Therapy: My Coworker Cheated on His Girlfriend With Me
I just started a new job at a video rental store about a month ago. I've met several of the other employees once or twice if they stop in while I'm working, but I'm still getting to know most of them. Last weekend, I was downtown having a couple drinks with some friends when I ran into one of my coworkers.
Group Therapy: My Co-Worker Won't Stop Hitting on Me!
One of my co-workers is interested in me and he asks me out fairly regularly. I like him as a friend, but have absolutely no desire to date him. He told me that he's going to apply for another position in the office that has recently opened up and if he's successful, he'd become my supervisor.
