How can I make my annoying coworker go away?

/

One of my colleagues seems unable to separate my duties from his own. “Henry” constantly interferes with my work and makes critical comments about the way I do my job. When I offer friendly explanations for my decisions, he dismisses them by saying “that’s just your opinion”. Henry and I work in different areas, but have overlapping responsibilities. Although his constant meddling is driving me crazy, I’m not sure how to address this or with whom. We report to the same manager, but I haven’t discussed this issue with him. Any advice?

Fortunately, the third employee is a recent hire who seems perfectly happy. How can I get off to a good start with this group?

The owner of our small business appears to be having an affair.  “Barry’s” office is about ten feet from my desk and the door is always open, so I hear everything he says.  For the past month, Barry has been having highly suggestive phone conversations with a woman whom he apparently sees in the evenings or on weekends.
