N nnyy Senior Member Japanese He's cheating on me. He's cheating me. I made the sentences. What's the difference between the two? I think the first means he's having an affair, and the second means he's swindling me. Am I right on this? Thanks a lot!

👁 entangledbank entangledbank Senior Member London English - South-East England Exactly right. Cheating on is adultery, but cheating is fraud or dishonest play.
👁 Packard Packard Senior Member USA, English But be aware of context. You can "cheat on an exam" and it has nothing to do with adultery.
