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

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.

You know, despite the brevity of the ultimatum in the OP, it's quite possible that what he actually said was more like, "I went to the doctor and found out I am severely allergic to cats. For the sake of my health, I can't keep dating you if you're going to keep the cat. It's me or the cat." It's not like he just couldn't stand the cat, if his allergies were very severe, there were some non-resolvable health issues there. And if we're going to talk about ultimatums, it shouldn't be fair that he has to deal with the implied "It's me or your health, one of them has to go" from his girlfriend.

2 years of dating and you just learn you are allergic now? sounds a bit fake to me.

For everyone who doesn't believe that he only recently found out he's allergic, you develop allergies. My ex had 5 cats and I love cats. I only started dating him because he had really cute cats. I had a pretty bad case of hives about 2 years into our relationship and turns out that I suddenly developed allergies for both cats and bunnies. OP: YDI. Most people hate ultimatums - I'd choose the cat just to spite you.

if you force a girl to make a decision it will never be the one you want. especially when it comes to her cat.

I'm allergic to cats myself, and allergy medicine is usually almost as bad as the allergies themselves, but you have to know how most people respond to ultimatums, idiot. Hell, I've had girls tell me it was them or my motorcycle. I still have the motorcycle, and am certain it was the better choice.

YDI. Don't ever try to get someone to give up a pet. Especially when they've had them before you. I'd have chosen the cat.

what did you expect? the cat is more loyal and lower maintenance. the cat also didn't ask her to choose between two things she loved.
