As i've said before the definition of cheating is subjective. Some people think having a platonic relationship with another that isn't your partner equates to cheating. While others think their has to be a physical aspect. I really depends opun the boundaries and rules you set up with your significant other. In my opinion, Mako wasn't actively cheating on Asami because he wasn't making passes at Korra or being physically intimate with her. He wasn't conciously pursuing Korra nor was he was even aware of level of concern he'd displayed. He kissed Korra back so you could say that was an act of cheating but what made it 'wrong' wasn't the infidelity itself. It was refusal to confess what'd happened to his partner. While I don't condone his kissing back in any given circumstance when somone you have feelings for and are attracted to you kisses you can't be so quick to condemn someone for not pulling back. It's an instinctive reaction in which he had no time think. It would've been a bigger eal if he'd (1) intiated it and (2) if it'd lasted for a period of 10 secs or so. I don't condemn him for this as there are numbers of reasons why he and or Korra felt it'd be left better unknown.
