Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is Mojo in the Morning, Anna Rob.
(00:04):
She's got a story here this morning that, and now
we have to mark the date here. We've got what
a month or so before Christmas.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So we're God's giving though too.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yeah, we're getting close to the holidays, and is it
too late to break up with somebody before the holidays?
Like is there a waiting period or a breakup period?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah, so here's the situation. One of my best guy friends,
we can call him initial Jay Jay, has been seeing
this girl for probably four or five years and has
been very open with me about their relationship, just because
we're very good friends. And from the beginning he had
concerns that she was more into him than he was
(00:45):
into her. Now they've been together for almost five years,
she's starting to talk about marriage and he's still not
one hundred percent. So probably over the past like two
or three months, we've been having a lot of conversations
about it. He's like, I really just don't think she's
the one, but I'm not sure I still really love her,
blah blah blah blah blah. Yesterday we were talking and
(01:06):
he said, I think I know that, Like this isn't
it she's not the one for me, but I don't
want to ruin the next two months for her because
even though Thanksgiving is still a month away, I know
this is going to absolutely break her heart and she
will not have a good Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. So he's like,
do I break up with her now? Do I wait
(01:28):
it out? And he's still I mean, though he's saying
he thinks he's going to break up with her, like,
I still feel like he might not want to, So
I'm trying to tell him, like, don't rush into it.
But also for her sake, if I was in her shoes,
I wouldn't want him just to stay with me because
he felt bad.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I think, honestly, you got to break up now. I agree,
I think you got to break up now, but I
think you got to do it fast, because if it
gets any closer to the holidays, I think within a
couple of weeks you're screwed. You can't do it. But
I think now is a long enough time.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I'm just always I've always said this, and I know
people think I'm evil for feeling this way, but like
the moment you feel like you're you want to break
up with somebody, I think as when you should break
up with them. It doesn't matter if there's a birthday
coming up, Valentine's Day, of the holidays. I know I
would not want to be with somebody who knowingly, in
(02:20):
the back of their head is like, Okay, in three weeks,
I'm gonna break up with there. In two week, I'm
going to breakup there. Getting down to one like just
please do it now, let me move on.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Here's pros and cons of that. Pros and cons are
you're right, you don't want that. But the con is,
if you wait, there's always going to be something next
that's going to come up, you know what I mean,
or something else is going to happen, or what happens
if all of a sudden, now you're like, well, maybe
I'll just stay in it for a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
You know in your gut, if he knows in his
gut she is not the one and he's going to
break it off. And then two, during the holidays you're
doing most people are doing a lot of things with
their families, and then their families are getting closer to
this person. Then it makes it more difficult for everybody.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Either way, she's going to be destroyed. I mean, four
to five years. Isn't a blink of a nod. This
wasn't some like summer fling that just popped off, And like,
I don't want to buy her gifts, Like her heart, body,
and soul has been into this man for half a decade,
so regardless of when he cuts it off, she's going
to be destroyed.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I agree, the sooner the better.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
But I can also see the perspective of like not
trying to ruin the most happiest time of the year a.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Woman, Like if someone broke up with me right after
the holidays, in my head, I would.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Be like, how long did they want to take? Exactly? Well,
plus you're going to feel how cold that they are
because there's no way you can act your way through
that whole thing. Facts, Shannon, let me ask you one
question about what you said, because you said you want
to know. Is there anything though that is off limits,
Like if you lost a family member or something like that,
would you you know, like if the person's going through
(04:01):
something like that, like or a sickness or an illness,
If the person's going through an illness, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I just like I wouldn't I wouldn't want to be
in a relationship where somebody's got one foot out already.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, I don't know. To me if they're going through
an illness and stuff and you're now, I couldn't do it.
You don't the reason they have a nervous breakdown or
if they're they lost like their you know, mom or
dad or something. Jay, what do you think Anna's friend? Initial?
Jay is not feeling this relationship? But are we getting
too close to the holidays for them to break up?
Speaker 5 (04:35):
No?
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Never, Never to slowing the breakup? They actually sauld have
broke up four years and nine months ago.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, By was.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Right. I'd agree with you.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Bye wife, Nay, it don't matter when you break there.
You can break up with somebody to day of their
parent funeral.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Would would you got kids together?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Hey? Would you be okay?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Jay?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Would you want to have your holidays ruined? I don't
care about the holiday.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Are a relationship break that with me anytime you feel
like it?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Right? Yeah? Ashley, what's up? What are your thoughts on this?
Speaker 6 (05:10):
After five years?
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Do you think she would be disappointed there wasn't a
proposal during the holidays.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
I think the disappointment regardless true.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And she's pushing for marriage hard. I think that's why
he's reconsidering.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Do you think, though, that that might be part of
the reason why he, like you say this, like, oh,
he's real. If she wasn't pushing for it, do you
think he would stay in it.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I think he would stay with her just because he's comfortable.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh yeah. Which do you think he's just breaking up
with her because he's got cold feet or do you
think he's breaking up with her because he doesn't love her?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I think he loves her. He says that they don't
have like a passion for each other and he doesn't
like that.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Hey, Emily, what's up. It's Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
Hey in the morning.
Speaker 8 (05:54):
Longtime, longtime. I just wanted to say that I feel
like this is the problem with relationships these days, as
people are just get comfortable and then you're just wasting
somebody else's time, Like just break up with that poor woman.
Don't waste her time anymore. Yeah, I let her go
find someone that wants to be with her, Like you
(06:15):
wasted already five years of her life and you weren't sure, Like.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You know what we need to do? And by the way,
your phone line is so bad. I'm sorry, I'm gonna
I'm not gonna keep you on the phone because it
would just drive me crazy. But thank you for your comment.
We need to find some people that got broken up
with on the holidays, and then we also need to
find some people that they waited till after the holidays.
And see what your perspective is on this. Alyssa, what
(06:40):
happened to your cousin?
Speaker 7 (06:42):
She was married to her husband for eight and a
half years.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
They went on this trip, he got cancer, like particular.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
Cancer, decided they weren't gonna have kids.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
And then she waited until he was the day.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
Out her remission to tell him that she was leaving him.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Bernola Da, Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Yeah, it made it ten times worse.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Oh my god, that's boy. That's tough. I don't know.
I that's a tough one, though.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
He and then he goes back and is like, the
whole time she was faking it.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I don't know how I feel about that. But what
happens if she told him before in it or or
immune system? What's going on? Lisa?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Hi?
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Yeah, So my ex and I actually broke up just
after Halloween one year, and it just completely ruined all
the holidays for like two years, and you know, going
to family things was just so much harder.
Speaker 9 (07:46):
And it was like.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
I almost didn't even want to go to the family
get togethers because it was just that jurassic because we
were together for many years.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Wow, do you wish he would have waited until after
the holidays.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
To do it?
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Yeah, it actually would have been a lot easier to
wait until after the holidays because then I went ahead
to been around all of my family.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
And you said that you got broken up with during
the month? Did you say twice?
Speaker 6 (08:17):
It was just after Halloween?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Okay, what's up with you in the holidays? Do you
get a little more stressed out that that all of
a sudden they want to get like, what's the story
about how it happened to you twice?
Speaker 6 (08:29):
No, not twice. We were just together for a very
long time.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Because Lydia said that on the thing here, it says
got broken up during the month of October twice. No, No,
it's a different call. Oh my god, I got the
wrong I had the wrong one highlighted on my phone.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
Here.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Let me grab that caller, Let me grab that one,
because that's an interesting one. You're Lisa. Hold on a second. Here,
you're Julia, the one that got broken up with twice.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
Yeah, that's me.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Okay, Julia. What's up with you around the holidays? Do
you go to the stressed out or something. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
I think it's something that everybody goes through where they're like, oh, shoot,
the holidays are coming and I don't really want to
be with this person, so it's like, we have to
break up now because it happened to me two times
in a row with different boyfriends.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
And are you sure edge during the holidays.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
I don't know. I never thought of it like that, but.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I would like to, like to me, I would break
and I'm not telling you that you have to do this,
but I would personalize that and I would go, what
the hell did I do? You know?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
I think it's just time of year. I think just
time of year that really makes people think is this
the person that I want to be with for all
the holidays forever?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Really, sometimes people know that that's not the person I'm
really into, and going through the holiday season, the holiday
time is more of a commitment time. That's when I'll
show you how committed how into this I actually am,
because your point. I am around family, I am showing
up for you a way that the first six months
of the year I didn't have to.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
So let me cut it off before you really think
this is a serious thing. See, I think it's the
first of the year. It's resolutions, New Year. I always
think that would be the time for some people. The
sweet spot is like that February to October. Though, Yeah,
the love, then you get the summertime we outside, then
you get the little cuddle weather. But let me cut
it off. In spooky season, Ashley got asked to be divorced.
(10:26):
He he asked you for a divorce when.
Speaker 9 (10:31):
Two weeks before Thanksgiving and we had just got back
from a family vacation with our daughter. So it came
out of the blue. And that's when I was an affair.
Affair And then yes, he was with a girl in Ohio.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
See it's always the girls in Ohio. Can I can
I say this though? Like that? The brute. The worst
is that you guys just got back from a vacation.
You think everything is fantastic. You're getting ready to celebrate
the holidays. Did you eat like a crazy woman on Thanksgiving?
Or did you not eat at all?
Speaker 9 (11:07):
Which which no, Oh my gosh, I lost like sixty pounds.
I'm in the best, the best time on my life.
I mean, it sucks for our daughter that it came
out of the holidays like because literally every I mean Thanksgiving, Christmas,
New Year's was.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
But you total bust for her.
Speaker 9 (11:25):
It really it was a blessing.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
See, I got to tell you that would suck. I
would want to eat my face off on Thanksgiving if
that was the case. How did you find out?
Speaker 9 (11:33):
No, so I found my dad's kind of an awesome guy,
and he hired a private investigator. But also friends ended
up coming forward after the investigation, after I got the
results from the investigation, So friends were aware for the fact.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Job, I gotta dump that for a second. You can't
say the s word on the radio.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Was it was it? Your friends who came forward are
like a couple of friends for you, guys.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
Is so they were.
Speaker 9 (12:03):
Mutual friends, and in fairness, they were friends that he
had known longer. But they ended up choosing me in
the end.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
So hey, and they came forward to say we knew
that he was doing this. Uh yeah, why because they
didn't say something sooner? They sit there and watch me
get cheated. You want to let you want them to
be friends if you're the person cheating because they kept
her for a while. Ari you there? Yeah, Hey, Ari,
(12:38):
your axe waited until after the holidays. Are you happy
that they waited till after the holidays? Yes?
Speaker 5 (12:48):
And no no, Because I a couple of weeks before
said that. I was like, I think you're just waiting
till after the holidays to break up with me.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
I promised she wasn't, which was horror.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Yeah, but I got a really nice espresso machine for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, that's a good one. I like that. And Lynn's
boyfriend broke up two weeks before Christmas? Great two weeks
and what did you think?
Speaker 8 (13:23):
Do you know what?
Speaker 10 (13:24):
After it's all said and done, I'm going to tell
you I'm glad that he did it before the holidays,
because the last thing I would want is memories of
Hymn with my whole family on Christmas, taking gifts and
like being in photos and then having that right at
the front of my face.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Instead he wasn't there.
Speaker 10 (13:40):
Yeah I was sad, and yeah I was hurt because
his timing sucked, But honestly, forget him. I think it's
better that I just spent the holidays with my sister
and my family and we ended.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Up having fun. Hey, question, what did you do with
his gift? Did you save the receipt?
Speaker 10 (13:56):
No, my sister and I threw it in the fire pit.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And was it expensive?
Speaker 10 (14:03):
It was some clothes that he had wanted from day
Crew and a couple other things, and it was past
the return.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Date, so we just burned it. Light and Brittany. Last
call on this one. Brittany found out her boyfriend was
cheating on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
No.
Speaker 7 (14:21):
Yes, I got a DM in my Facebook messenger from
a girl that told me that they had a one
night stand and I already had a train ticket to
meet his family the next morning. I was leaving after
Christmas morning with my family to go meet his and
(14:42):
spend time with him.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
So you didn't get on that train, needless to say,
so I did. I did.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Actually, I was like, what am I going to do?
Speaker 7 (14:53):
I thought, what am I going to do? And his
sealth service was horrible. I couldn't really contact him. It
was in and out. I thought, you know, I'm going
to get on that train and I'm going to confront him.
So I waited till we got off the train and
we sat down for lunch. We had our first drink
poured for us, and I said, Okay, tell me all
about Catherine.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
What did he say?
Speaker 7 (15:16):
He went blank and just kind of smiled, and I
waited and waited, and I said, you don't know what
I know, so I'm going to let you go first. Wow,
And he just he basically just admitted it. He said,
it was, you know, one night stand. He hasn't seen
(15:36):
her since.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
But and what did his family do?
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Well, we didn't expose that to his family again, I
was meeting them for the first time. We kind of
just went along with it for the next few days
and just pretended everything was fine. And then when we
got home, I was like, we're done.
Speaker 10 (15:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
And by the way, I don't believe that it was
just a one and done because she felt they need
to reach out to you for some reason. If there
wasn't one and done, she wouldn't care, do you know
what I mean?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (16:09):
Absolutely, I agree. I didn't even I didn't even entertain
it for their like what I had made up my.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Decision right, So to me, all I got out of
this whole thing was you had to get on a
train with him. Go home like that suck?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
You know what?
Speaker 7 (16:24):
Actually, I go in the car with him to get you.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
That's even worse. You had to drive a car with him.
How many hours away were you, guys and a half? Okay,
the longest term? Did you control the music and put
every single breakup song on?
Speaker 7 (16:42):
I think I was like blacked out at that point.
I was so curious. I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Wow, amazing story.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
He's a lawyer.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
Now a lawyer? Now does that surprise you?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeah? Well yeah, thank you for the call.
