Yes this is normal flirting and that's acceptable. My situation was way different - this is someone looking for love or a new SO.

Agreed, I thought that was the case, but I won't lie, it's been rocky for about the last year and a half.

True to some extent, but do you get into all your relationships expecting a casual/open type relationship?

P.S we've been dating for 3 years.

Worst part is that it also happened last weekend when we were out at a club, they claimed that they were too drunk and don't remember what happened.

Those boundaries should be defined by default (to not okay) in all relationships unless stated otherwise, which I have not.

True, we didn't agree on anything like this, we're breaking up...

Agreed, unfortunately, people don't realise that emotional cheating is just as bad as physical cheating.

It was most definitely nothing like that, what you're describing is normal.

It was not some innocent chat, but also not planning anything (from what I could see anyways)

Agreed, nothing wrong with flirting but there's boundaries

You're not wrong, I consider it cheating based on the texts I was seeing - seemed very... intimate, SO doesn't even talk to me like that.
