If it's culturally acceptable, a wink wink nudge nudge that both partners understand, it's not cheating since no trust is really broken. It's just an open relationship, who cares.

It's definitely cheating and the partner cheated upon might not find it acceptable at all. Everyone would understand someone divorcing because they were cheated upon.
It's just not seen as morally disqualifying. People view cheating as a mostly private matter and acknowledge it happens. When it was revealed that the former president was having an affair with an actress, it barely impacted his popularity.
