Today, I went to the doctor to find out why I've been feeling so sick the past several weeks. Turns out, I'm severely allergic to the cat of my girlfriend of two years. I told her "It's me or the cat." She chose the cat. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my mom I'm severely allergic to my cat and that the doctor told me it would be best to get rid of the cat. Somewhat jokingly, I told her it was either me or the cat. She chose the cat. She was serious too. FML
Today, to celebrate moving into a new apartment, my girlfriend decided she would get a kitten. She didn't know I'm allergic to cats. When I told her, she decided that she couldn't date someone who couldn't be around her cat; the one she doesn't have yet. FML
Today, I found out my cat is allergic to ME. No kidding. FML
Today, my boyfriend woke up wheezing terribly, aching, and sneezing. He's allergic to cats. I have 2 and they are my babies. He gave me an ultimatum, him or the cats. I haven't figured out how I'm going to tell him that I choose the cats. FML
Today, I told my wife if she wanted to get a divorce, she just had to get a cat since I'm deathly allergic. She got two. FML
Today, after being diagnosed with cat allergies, I explained to my cat-loving boyfriend that the doctor strongly recommended not allowing the cat in the bedroom. At 1:30 a.m. my boyfriend got out of the bed to go sleep in the spare room because, "the cat is sad." FML
Today, my boyfriend bought us three kittens. Today, I also discovered that I am allergic to cats. My boyfriend broke up with me because he wanted the cats more than me. FML
Today, I went to the doctor for allergy testing. Apparently, one of my worst allergies is cats. I'm a "crazy cat lady" who loves anything cat-related and has 3 cats. Allergy shots, here I come. FML

Today, after 3 years of studying to be a veterinarian, I found out I may not be able to continue. It's not because I'm failing my classes, but because my body has developed an allergy to cats. FML

That was a bit selfish of you. There are such things as allergy medicine. To some people, their pets are like their children. And for you to make such an ultimatum is an asshole move. Good job.

Her BF is a dick for making her choose between a cat she likely loves as if it were her child and him instead of thinking of a more compromising solution

Honestly...I would choose my cat over being with any guy. That's natural. I wouldn't go throw my cat out on the street or in the pound just because my boyfriend had allergies. Can't you get shots, anyway? Animals are like kids. Remember the end of the Parent Trap, when they went on the camping trip?

Gotta have more personality than the pet if you wanna pull that one. =p

I'd choose my dog over a girl. The dog will always be my friend, while the girl will probably break up with me at some point.

How would you go out for two years without ever having any sort of contact with the cat? Or now know that you were allergic to cats already anyway?

#36: the comments are mostly sayin' he deserved it because, in general, the people who say yea your life's f'd to a story just click it and move on...but the ones who say you deserved it wanna leave a comment telling them why..lol. Anywho...gotta agree with pretty much everyone... 1. Dumb ultimatum 2. Pets are better than people...in most cases. They don't care if your ugly or putting on some pounds. And they don't get tired of you after a couple months... She woulda been real dumb to get rid of her cat for YOU...

What girl would get rid of her cat for a guy? why would you expect it? why can't you just treat your allergies??

1 - I know people who have really bad allergies. Even if she had gotten rid of the cat, one month to a few months later he would still be having allergic reactions just by being in the house, even ON medication, if it's as bad as OP makes the allergies seem to be. 2 - Mostly everyone who said they'd give up their cat is either fat, single, or both.

A lot of people said how they would choose the cat because he made them choose. I'd choose the cat just because I love my kitties better than I could ever love some random guy. Oh, and cats don't talk, either. That alone makes me prefer them to people in general.
