Depends upon the relationship, and the boundaries you have established.
Anytime you don't understand what the boundaries are then you need to discuss it and find out.
No this doesn't mean you have to ask if you can go out with friends on Friday instead staying home with him, but you should discuss what would be considered inappropriate in your relationship with others.
It also depends upon the level your relationship is at. If you guys are just dating and it's not exclusive then you're free to do what the hell you want, hell you're free to do what you want anyway but you have to accept the consequences it brings.
But if you have committed to some kind of closed relationship where it's supposed to be only you two then you have violated his trust. If it wasn't discussed, it should have been.
Cheating comes in many forms.
Anytime you start to devote more time to activities, other people in your life than you do the one who is important to you, you are in a sense cheating them.
Let me clarify this. I am not saying you can't have other friends in your life, that you can't have hobbies.
A prime example would be my aunt and uncle's relationship.
He started to go fishing alot. Sure, fishing is fine in moderation. But this guy started to go all the time.
Even during holidays he would take off by himself right after dinner while the entire family was there.
Well this went on for many years, until he finally took that next step and started to bang his secretary.
Now his cheating went to a whole new level, but the simple fact is he was cheating on his family the entire time.
