It's not cheating if your partner is consenting to it. It's an open relationship if you and your partner are happy with one or both of you to have sex with other people.
In our culture, monogamy is an assumed promise. That doesn't mean you and your partner have to make that promise to each other, but the promise is assumed until you talk about it to each other decide what you both want. I think that's pretty basic logic - logic that is a lot less muddy than your comparison between premarital sex (something which is neither deceitful, harmful or anyone else's business) and cheating (which is all three).
Good point about monogamy being an assumed promise, but I wish more people would discuss it openly. Sometimes the assumptions can lead to misunderstandings.
Is it normal that I think cheating is morally okay?
