Given an object with an uneven shape being held by 2 wires of unequal lengths, would the tension forces on the wires be equal?

Say you have an item hanging on to 2 wires of uneven lengths, would the tension be the same? I tried doing a free body diagram and I came up with both ropes feeling the same tension. Though I could've been wrong in my procedure. I asked but he said in theory it would be the same, but realistically it would probably be different. So if they are different is there a way to compute for the tension felt by each rope?
