Summary

The Mojo in the Morning show's "Am I the A-hole?" segment features a caller seeking validation about excluding her fiancé's friend from her wedding because she secretly hooked up with him during a break from her relationship. The hosts and callers debate whether she's wrong for keeping this secret and whether she should disclose it before marriage.

Insights
  • Secrets about past relationships with mutual friends create significant trust risks in marriages, even when the behavior occurred during a break
  • The timing and context of indiscretions matter less to audiences than transparency and honesty before major life commitments
  • Callers emphasize that hiding information from a spouse-to-be is fundamentally different from the act itself, making the deception the core ethical issue
  • Relationship breaks create ambiguity about expectations and boundaries that can lead to poor decisions with lasting consequences
  • Social circles and shared friend groups amplify relationship complications, as secrets are difficult to maintain long-term
Trends
Growing emphasis on pre-marital transparency and disclosure as essential to relationship trustAudience skepticism about the viability of keeping secrets in interconnected social groupsDebate over whether relationship breaks constitute legitimate relationship status changes or are relationship limboConcern about rapid relationship progression (break to engagement within one year) as a red flagCaller consensus that infidelity context matters less than honesty with future spouses

Quotes
"Because if you guys were on a break and first off, you hooked up with this friend, which I mean, that's close. But I also think that before you get married, something like this, I just feel like everything gets put on the table because if it comes out after the fact years later, then it's like the trust is, it starts to diminish real quick."
ShannonEarly segment
"I would absolutely say, I don't know. I, you can't marry somebody and not tell them that. That's a friend. If not some random dude you hooked up with."
Danny (caller)Mid-segment
"She is totally an A-hole. This is, I actually get married later this year and the thought of someone doing this to a future partner is disgusting."
Initial L (caller)Mid-segment
"I say that you leave it be, it was the only one time, and if she says it would never happen again, when you bring up, you have sex with somebody else, like that is a huge issue to begin with, but they were on a break."

"There's no way you are not supposed to smash the homing in any way that you're never supposed to smash the homing. Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever."

All right, it is Mojo in the morning. It is time now for Am I the A-hole? This morning's Am I the A-hole? Voice disguised. So I'm getting married next year and I don't want one of my fiance's friends in the wedding to be at the wedding anymore because I feel like it's gonna be awkward. Is that wrong? I can't. I don't even know what that man or woman said. Is it a man or a woman? That is a woman. That is a woman. Oh man. I did not know. Tell me you did not know. Zach, Zach voice disguised it for some reason. It's her name, Bernard. For some reason, Zach's only voice disguised he has in the production studio is one that basically changes your gender, you know? So here, hold on. So I'm getting married next year and I don't want one of my fiance's friends in the wedding to be at the wedding anymore because I feel like it's gonna be awkward. Is that wrong? Let me put initial G on my voice disguise and make you sound a little different. Hi G. Hey. Oh goodness gracious, it's so much better. Wait a second. So why do you not want them in the wedding? I just think it's gonna be awkward. Why would it be awkward? Well, my fiance and I did check a break like over a year ago now and I hooked up with that friend. Oh, does your fiance know that? No. So your fiance has a friend that you do not want to be a groomsman in your wedding because you've had sex with him and your fiance has no clue that you had sex with the guy. Yeah, but I mean, we weren't together when it happened. All right, am I the A-hole? I want you guys to call. I don't think you're A-hole for a totally different reason. 844-MOJO-LIVE-844-665-6548 is initial G in A-hole. Your comments on this one, I want to know Shannon's comment. Why do you think she's a, what's the reason? Because if you guys were on a break and first off, you hooked up with this friend, which I mean, that's close. But I also think that before you get married, something like this, I just feel like everything gets put on the table because if it comes out after the fact years later, then it's like the trust is, it starts to diminish real quickly. Now, did you knew when you hooked up with him that that was a friend of your fiance's or of your ex-boyfriend at the time, right? Could you guys broke up? Yeah, I mean, we all hang out together in like a big group. Yeah. How long ago was this that y'all slept with each other? It's been over a year now. Wow. So it hasn't been like crazy. You know, long. And this is, first off, this is a secret you keep in bringing to your grave. I also think you got to be careful about saying I don't want him in the wedding. I understand you don't want him in the pictures and forever be reminded of him because it's going to eventually come out. It is. 844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-665-6548. Ashton, am I the A-hole? Is initial G an A-hole? Yeah, she's the worst type of A-hole. Like, I would never have sex with my girlfriend's friend and marry her and never tell her about it. Like, you know what I'm saying? I would at least have the conversation with her before we got married. So he could have the chance to, you know, see if he was okay with it or not. Great. Let me ask you a question. Any of your girlfriend's friends worthy of your sex? You know, better not even think about that. That was a trick question. Danny, what's up? Am I the A-hole? Is initial G an A-hole? Good morning. Yes, absolutely. She could have slept. There's so many fish in the sea and she chose her, the auntie's friend. And now you're about to marry him and not even tell him. That's crazy. So real quick, she already did the whole I had sex with him thing. Do you think that there's any way to make up for what happened? Like, should she say something or is that risking getting married? I'm wondering if it's the past the point of no return at this point. I would absolutely say, I don't know. I, you can't marry somebody and not tell them that. That's a friend. If not some random dude you hooked up with. If I didn't interact with your husband. Because I will say this to you, she wasn't hooking up with the guy while they were together. He wasn't cheating. But it's still, like I said, it's close. It's a close relationship. Then in my mind, I'm like, have you been plotting on him the whole time? Initial L voice disguised wants to comment, am I the A-hole? She is totally an A-hole. This is, I actually get married later this year and the thought of someone doing this to a future partner is disgusting. Yeah. You know what? It's funny, Al, with you getting married, if you found out after you got married that your husband had sex when you guys weren't together, you know, when you guys had a breakup, would you want to know that either before the wedding or after the wedding? You know, I would want to know before and it wouldn't be like, okay, we're over, get out the door. It would be a huge conversation though. Because then, like Kevin said, were you looking at my friend the whole time? Now there's way more layers of insecurity and conversations to be had. I just can't imagine hiding that from someone. Yeah. See, it's not even that to me as much as it would be, like that specific situation. I feel like there are some things that are, you know, your past is your past and you try to tell your spouse everything, but of course there are things that like, they don't care about or they don't make sense to, you know, to even bring into the conversation moving forward. But this to me does. A texture, ask a question. I'm gonna ask G this one. This is a texture 248 that says, how many times did you guys hook up? Oh, it was only once. So once, one and done, that was it. Yeah, that was totally it. And did you make the move or did the best friend make the move? Um, I mean, I think he definitely made it a weird that she was attracted to me and wanted to play with me. And I just didn't send him away. Do you worry about him saying something to your fiance? Yeah, a little bit. He at the wedding during a, does anybody object? Right. You know, you better be careful about that. That would scare me if that comes out through him. Bernard, what's up? Am I the A-hole? What are your thoughts? Oh my God, I am so pissed off to the highest level of festivity. Okay. She is an A-hole. The friend is an A-hole. They're both A-holes. And she does not deserve to get married. So some good guy, whether he's good or bad, she does not deserve to get married. There's no way you are not supposed to smash the homing in any way that you're never supposed to smash the homing. Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. And she did it and she's keeping a secret and she's gonna have them in that man's face for the most important day of his life. No, A-hole. Well, no, she doesn't know if she wants him in his face. She's trying to keep him out of the wedding. She's- Then you gotta make up a live why? Yeah. You know what I mean? Like why don't you have my best friend in the wedding? You gotta make up something? No, so they should not get married. They should not get married. She's an A-hole, he's an A-hole, and they deserve each other. Patty, what are your thoughts? Am I the A-hole? Hi, Patty. Oh, hi, sorry. Hang it out. Okay, you can't get married to someone within a year of taking a break, right? That's an interesting one. That's a quick turnaround. And within a year of taking a break and having sex with his friend is even worse. Yeah, you can't, one, like the other guy said, you don't go to Bonesown with a homie. Yeah. Two, you can't get married like within a year of being like, actually, let's take some time apart. Because when you're married to someone, you're, I mean... Yeah, that is, you're there forever. Honestly, I think almost they need another year waiting period in this one here, and they need some counseling to figure some stuff out. Lee, what's up? You say not an A-hole. You may be the only person. I say not an A-hole. I say that you leave it be, it was the only one time, and if she says it would never happen again, when you bring up, you have sex with somebody else, like that is a huge issue to begin with, but they were on a break. So it's not, I don't feel like it's something that you need to bring up. That should stay in the grave forever and ever and ever. I'm just saying, I feel like these things come out. They have a sneaky way of coming out at some point, and then it hurts even more. I feel like it's a lie. Because it was swept under the rug for so long. I feel like it's a lie. And I know probably not in the sense of the definition that we all know what a lie is, but I think it's a lie. And I don't know if I want to enter a relationship through a lie, a relationship that's my forever shit. Rick? Good morning, Mojo, Shannon and Kev. Good morning. What's up, Steve and Ricky? What's going on? Well, I have one. First off, I agree she's an A-hole. Second of all, I want to know, how does she know that the friend did not tell the fiance? Oh, she knows. Sorry to upvote her. There's no way that guy's holding on to that one and not saying anything, Rick. Oh, on her wedding day, he said. By the way, am I better than my friend? I don't know. I don't think that that's the case, Rick. I think if that thing came out, I think that thing is all over the place. Hold on. Lindsay, what's up? Mojo on the morning, am I the A-hole? Hey, what's up? I think that they both are the A-hole. The thing that I was thinking is one, how can you sleep with somebody a year before, one, you're gonna get married and two, I was wondering how long the break must have been. Like, if you're broken up for a little bit for you to have been married a year later, I'm like, is the first thing you thought is let me go sleep with your friends. Like, if the break wasn't that long, long enough for you to get married a year later, that's what I'm thinking. I'm like, that's definitely not the first thing I'd be doing. Let me actually ask her, hold on a second. I want to know, gee, how long after you guys said we're on a break did you and his buddy get together? It was like three weeks into the break. Oh boy, so it was not that long. She says she wants to go. And did you wait, did you break sex with anybody else? No. That was it, okay. Well, at least I would have given you credit if you were like out there just hoeing it up. You know what I mean? Give her credit? I would at least say, all right, she at least looked at others too. She gotta go, bro. You know what I mean? Am I the A-hole on the Mojo in the Morning Show?
