The definition of cheating is subjective. Some people feel as though having a platonic relationship with another that isn't your partner equates to cheating. While others think their has to be a physical aspect. 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. That's why he looked dumbfounded when Asami approached him. The kiss was so insignifcant to him he'd forgotten. 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 the refusal to tell Asami about it. I don't condemn him for this as there are numbers why he and or Korra felt it'd be left better unknown.
