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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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.

I'd choose the cat too. The cat will be around a lot longer than you might. Good for her. Also, what #115 said. You force someone to make that choice, then you deserve to go.

How selfish of you . . . as others have said; forcing someone to make a decision like that instantaneously makes you worth less YDI.

ultimatums = bad news for you

Sad. I've been in that situation where my boyfriend was very very allergic to my dog. We worked hard to explore all options, and with a shitload of air filters in all rooms of the house, good strong allergy meds, and this stuff called Allerpet that I wiped her down with once a week, it worked out. If it hadn't, I would have picked the dog too. Pets are like children. Relationships are, well, relationships. You'll find someone that doesn't have a cat and there won't have to be any heartbreaking compromise for anyone.

Honestly, I'd choose the cat even though; 1, I'm a straight guy and wouldn't be in this situation; 2, I'm a dog person; 3, I am slightly allergic to cats. I just hate ultimatums, they aren't productive, everything in life is a compromise, so sorry, YDI.
