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.
Same thing different taste
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
Cats rule, boys drool
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
Is this a joke?
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
Don't make me choose
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 would have chosen the cat too-especially if the person in question came out with a jackass ultimatum the way you did.

Did you guys live together? That's ****** up if she kicked you out on the street. She could have found the cat a nice home.

I’d choose the cat as well; there are medicines for you to help with your allergies

People who force ultimatums usually lose. If someone asked me to pick (without any effort on their part to resolve the problem) to choose between them and my pets I wouldn't even hesitate. No one who cares about me would ask me to do that.

haha dude pets ALWAYS win those battles. and that sucks, but no one likes an ultimatum. obviously you're allergic, but you should still respect the people and things your significant other loves, even if you don't like them :/

#4, 6, 17, 18, 22, 27: you obviously don't have allergies. you cant just go on meds and keep exposing yourself to the trigger. it just doesn't work. you need to eliminate the trigger if u plan on getting better. and just having her go to his house instead isn't good enough either b.c the dander on her clothes is enough to trigger a reaction. and reactions often are more serious than sneezing until you get away from the cat. OP: im allergic to cats too and am available.

Um I've owned cats my entire life and I'm very allergic to them but guess what? My medication keeps me from reacting. I have three cats right now.

anyone who gave me any ultimatum, i'd dump em on the spot. a pet is a like a child. and a boyfriend enough of a ******** to make the person he loves choose between their children or them, doesnt really love them

She'll probably end up with lots of them, so you actually dodged a bullet and she'll die alone.. =D

She'll die surrounded by cats she loves. OP will likely be the one to die alone
