| 10th March 2008 Danger in the workplace Preventing the office affair by Sonia Sebastian, How long does your partner spend at work every day? 8 hours? 9 hours? 10 hours? Your partner spends more time with work colleagues than he does with the family. Is it any surprise then that office romances are so common? Shirley Glass, author of the book “Not Just Friends: Rebuilding Trust and Recovering Your Sanity After Infidelity” says, “This is the essence of the new crisis: friendships, work relationships and Internet liaisons have become the latest threat to marriages.” Corporate culture demands complete dedication to the workplace which translates into long hours at the office. “Today’s workplace has become the new danger zone of romantic attraction and opportunity,” continues Glass. While you may not be able to change his work schedule, there are things you can do to prevent an affair. Most men find themselves thinking about that colleague in accounting or marketing when they have an emotional need that is not met. While it may be easy to jump to the conclusion that that need is sex, it is not always the case. Believe it or not, men do have other needs! |
