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, I bought a kitten. I've wanted a cat for years and decided to finally buy one now that I have my own apartment. It turns out I'm allergic to cats. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

wtf, why would you just be like "I'M ALLERGIC TO YOUR PET THAT YOU LOVE DEARLY SO CHOOSE ME OR IT." ummm...if a guy was that insensitive i'd choose the ******* cat too. you should've told her about the allergy and thought of a way to compromise. she may have consented to locking the cat up and cleaning when you came over, or shaving it, or something. you fail.

#87 An indoor cat is not going to adjust to being outside. Try to actually HAVE a pet.

If I had to choose my cat or my boyfriend (well I don't have one ahhahaha FML) but I'd choose my cat. I wouldn't give her away for anything. Why would you make her choose?

"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." The ultimatum was a bit of dick move, but you clearly have no idea how serious cat allergies can be. If the Dr. tells him he is severely allergic, allergy meds may be of no help. I am moderately allergic and taking two different kinds of allergy meds a day is enough to take the edge off when I go into a cat owners house. It doesnt help completely and they may not work forever.

THANK YOU #97 everyone needs to stop being such jerks about this. i would do the same thing for my cat. you must have treated her like crap if she chose a cat over you but honestly people need to stop freaking out. animals are amazing creatures and for some people like me, they have all the same rights as humans have. so chill. just because you don't agree with this doesn't mean you need to be rude.

you're an asshole for asking her to choose.... ever consider her needs/wants?

Ultimatums always fail. Always. Especially when there are things such as.... I dunno compromises... And also another thing I don't get.... he has been dating her for two years and all this time he has never been bothered by cat dandruff, the cat.... w/e? And now it seriously bothers him so he issues the ultimatum? Not sure about that.

Whenever told that I have to choose between somebody and something else, I always choose the one who is not making me choose. Unfortunately, in this situation, it was the cat :/ Couldn't you have tried to make a compromise instead of giving her an ultimatum?

And that is you never say "X goes, or I go." I'd be inclined to go with the party that didn't put all that on me, too. You could have been mature about it and had a discussion about what to do, but instead you pull the douche move. Allergies suck, but having someone you've been with for two years force you to make such a hard decision cuts far deeper. No wonder she chose the cat over you. Particularly since it sounds like while you're allergic to cats, you don't have a life-threatening allergy to them. Thus there was room to find an alternate solution. But hey! At least now she has a good companion for the next 15-20 years =D
