Do I always have to put "on" in front of a person when I use the word "cheat"?

They cheat me. (cheat on me.)

When do you put "in" after "believe"?

I don't know what to believe in.(what to believe?)



Thanks. ^^

When you use "cheat on smb", it implies conjugal infidelity. eg Jane left her husbund after she discovered that he was cheating on her. "In" is used after "believe" when you mean a kind of religion (to believe in ***, in miracles, in signs, etc) or some principles that one may follow in life.
