It completely depends on the arrangement set by the couple. Some people are okay with friendly cuddles and shit like that, gods know it happens in my friends group all the time. For some couples anything is cheating (you wouldn't believe the number of people who won't even let their SO hang out alone with the opposite sex without thinking of it as cheating) and for some, nothing is cheating (ie. open relationship).
Most people enter into a relationship without discussing these things and just assuming that everyone has the same standards that they do. I think this is important stuff to talk about when entering into a new relationship because misunderstandings can happen, and if you don't talk about it you won't know how your SO feels about it, and might make a mistake and hurt them without meaning to.
Is it normal to not be sure what cheating is?
