A young woman about 23 , blond haired, beautiful body came up to me in my driveway last week and kissed me on the lips. I said "eeeewwww stop that It's disgusting"
I wouldn't say it's cheating but, if it make you uncomfortable, then say so. In any case the kiss in and of itself doesn't mean anything. Doesn't mean marriage and doesn't mean they're gonna run off with each other and live happily ever after.
I was at a Christmas party last month and one of our older married male friends gets very friendly after a few drinks. He was next to my wife and they were joking around and then asked what I would do if he kissed her, I told them I would take picture. My wife did not like that answer, lol.
I think it's gross and totally out of line. No male friend is allowed to do that to me, and if I saw a female do that to my man, she's getting popped upside her head.
I even think it's disgusting when parents do this to their children. The mouth is a sex organ in my book, keep your nasty germs to yourself.
Just a bit over the top, maybe?
Walmart probably has a whole aisle full of toothbrushes, mouthwash and soap for showers.
Are you one of the people that won't shake hands, either.

Hear, hear! No one knows where anyone's mouth has been! & I also agree that parents shouldn't kiss their kids directly on their mouth.
I have two takes on this that kinda contradict each other lol...
On the "what is/isn't cheating" level...that is up to any couple. Context is everything there. In some relationships of people I know, they can have intercourse with others and it's not "cheating" because they are honest about it and it's within the bounds of their relationship structure. People can write their own script to how their relationship will work as long as everyone is consenting. Also, the kissing described isn't necessarily sexual to all people and is in many cultures considered a friendly greeting, so...it's not even necessarily suspect in all instances and contexts.
But.
I am one who actually did/does believe that Covid was a nasty illness I'd rather not get. I haven't had it. I don't much care for having a cold or flu either if I don't have to. I don't go to the extreme of denying myself all social interaction, and I don't wear masks anymore, so I'm not that over the top about it at the moment but there needs to be a certain payoff to me going out and being around other humans. I do feel that there is still some element of risk there. I am glad that I don't live in a culture where everyone is kissing everyone's face all the time. Seems like a public health nightmare to me.
But beyond that? Well. I was one who kissed my children on the mouth when they were little, as many parents do. Go look on Youtube for a video of a kissing parrot, you'll see how that is, it's very "mmmmwah!" It's cute. Small children are very affectionate little beings. Hell, some people let their slobbery dogs lick their mouths. I'm not a fan, but.../shrug Point being - not all kissing is in any way "sexual" in nature.
What a lot of people may not realize though, is that a large number of adults who have HSV-1, a form of herpes that causes cold sores but that CAN be transmitted to the nethers via oral sex as well...yeah, loads of folks got that from when they were little kids and their parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles gave them smooches.
So the comment that said, "the mouth is a sex organ"....well, maybe not scientifically or technically speaking, but when it comes to possible transmission of contagious disease, yeah. It is.
As such, it isn't outside the bounds of sanity to prefer that one's partner NOT do that with other people. Because there is an element of "you are risking giving me a disease" to it, whether it is sexual or cheating or whatever, or not. We should all have a right to withhold consent to that kind of risk, should we choose to exercise it.
