Does anyone know what the Church moral teaching is regarding what constitutes appropriate interaction [including in-person, online, emails, texts, or phone calls] with members of the opposite sex [including interactions of single folks with married folks and married folks with other married folks]?  As Catholics, are we supposed to be careful in this regard so as not to cause scandal, occasions of sin, etc.? I thought I recall hearing/reading about this somewhere along the line.

Not sure if that makes sense, but thanks in advance!
Odd request coming from you 2Vermont, do you need a book or books to give to someone?

In my opinion, when you dislike or hope your partner does not do something, you should discipline yourself first. In a marriage relationship, the loyalty to each other is more initial than others. Devotion to each other is for all men and women.

The best rule is for husbands not to [voluntarily] hang around other women without the wife present, and vice-versa.
Sometimes they need to, such as in work environments.

1 Tim. 5:1-2: "entreat...young women, as sisters, in all chastity."

Ch. 12 "When the Ladies are Present" of Social Manual for Seminarians (1962) is also good (and quite entertaining 😄).

Yes, and that's been the cause of more shenanigans than can even be imagined.  There are many married women in the workplace who like the idea of gaining the attentions of men not their husbands.  (And vice versa.)  In modern society, marriage is seen as a serial thing anyway, and if someone sees an opportunity to "trade up", well...

Don't say it doesn't happen, because it does.  And contraception (a fortiori sterilization) gives a mischievous wife (or husband) the opportunity to make their spouse into a cuckold, with no one the wiser.
