Is a proper kiss classed as cheating?

This is not me btw for anyone reading that knows me!

I was out last night on a big day/night out with the girls. There were 6 of us and it was a real girlie giggle day with emphasis on getting drunk and having a laugh.

In one of the bars we were in we all had a laugh with another group of lads, dancing, carrying on etc just harmless. There was one amongst them that we all agreed was lush really good looking, glinty eyes, nice clothes etc. It was all just lighthearted but nice boy then made a beeline for one of my friends and they were having a chat and a little dance. This sort of continued all night in 3 different pubs (we kept bumping into them) until eventually I turned round and they were properly snogging. They did this a few times.

What I want to know is this classed as cheating?

Our group was a bit divided about it - 1 of the girls really upset, most of us not really sure what to think and a couple of us not bothered either way.

What do you think?

She has been married for just over a year and has one child with her husband (have been together about 4 -5 years)

Cheating yes.
You also wonder if it's a 'gateway drug' as such - once someone's done that and dismissed it as ok, what do they do next and dismiss it as ok.

Did we all miss "with emphasis on getting drunk and having a laugh."?

Never mind the kiss, the premeditated drunkenness would be a deal breaker for me.

Yes, I'd consider it cheating and I'd end my relationship over it.

I'm worth more than someone who doesn't respect me.

It's cheating. She should tell her husband.

I dont think she should tell her husband, in a way its cheating but not premeditated.and what he doesnt know wont hurt him,
If she tells him it might cause more problems than its worth
It all depends on what her husband is like
I know if i had done it and told my husband[ex now] he would have continually thrown it back at me

For me it's a deal breaker, I couldn't move past it. It's something I did in my late teens, early 20s. I love a good night out and a laugh, even have a dance with men but I don't flirt or kiss etc. Im 30 now and the idea of kissing a randomer makes me queezy tbh, no judgment to those that do. Just not for me.

Would be enough for me to end the relationship, children or not. I've been cheated on before and so my tolerance is so low for anything like that.

Its a drunken kiss which shouldnt have happened, and the person will probably regret it when shes come to her senses and sober,
Is it really worth ruining a marriage for?
Hopefully it will never happen again

If you wouldn't be happy to do it in front of your partner - it's cheating IMO..... if my husband snogged someone in front of me I'd be devastated.

Of course its cheating. I'd be devastated if my DW did this - its a clear breach of trust too.

this is cheating to me, she knew that with the drinks came the risk of going astray and shes cheated. if her OH is aware, a divorce could be on the cards

Yep - it's definitely cheating. I'd be gutted if my DP snogged a randomer and even more if he didn't even consider it to be cheating. There's a big step between enjoying a bit of attention from an attractive guy and actually allowing anything physical to happen.
