I think that everyone has their own thoughts and opinions.
In a general way, cheating to me means secretly breaking a relationship rule. So if one partner does something that both partners have decided not to do and does not tell the other partner, that is cheating, no matter what the thing is that they did and had decided not to do. Each couple has their own definition of what is okay and what is not okay. It varies.

Here is another question. Why is monogamy such a big deal? If we were polygamous there would be no such thing as cheating.

Monogamy is not a big deal for everybody, that's why some people are polyamorous.
There still can be some cheating in polyamorous relationships if we define cheating as breaking relationship rules secretly.
Polygamy is defined as being
married to several people if I'm not wrong. I think this is not very different from being married to only one person, cheating-wise.
