The act of cheating is defined by the act of getting caught. One doesn’t exist without the other.
— Sex and the City · 1998

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker argues that cheating only counts as cheating once it is discovered. In this view the deed and the exposure come as an inseparable pair, so an undiscovered betrayal barely qualifies. It is a cynical, deliberately provocative definition, and the speaker's own claim rather than a settled truth.
