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?

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.

if her cat was like her child to her, then you're an ass who got what was coming to him. if she wasn't that fond of her cat, then good for you that you only wasted two years with her and not more.

You're a jackass and you deserved that 100%. Learn to take Benadryl or something, but it's unbelievably selfish of you to demand that she give up a loved pet for you. I'm glad she chose the cat. I would have done the same. @ #74: The more time you spend around an animal you are allergic to, the better your allergies get. I used to be deathly allergic to cats and now I have 2. My allergies are completely gone.

I agree I would have chosen the cat too. I'm a huge animal lover and am even considering working in an animal shelter someday and I can't deal with someone that can't handle that. I got a kitten, Lucy for my 15th birthday and I can't imagine having to give her up, I love her. My mom is allergic to cats and we have 2, she's on meds and is getting shots, my boyfriend is allergic to exhaust fumes and cats, he comes to my house and is fine and he works in an auto shop, people deal with stuff, you should too, like 78 said you become somewhat immune, thats what happened to them, suck it up no one likes a whiner

I would have chosen the cat, too.

I feel for you that it would hurt having someone choose their cat over you. Perhaps, if she preferred the cat to you, you are well rid of her. On the other hand, saying "the cat or me" sort of implies you are prepared to break up with her as well. If you didn't want to break up with her, maybe you shouldn't have given her that option... Instead, work out what result you really want, and then work towards that. Oh, and one more thing: a "compromise" (which is how all decisions involving more than person are made) is a decision in which everyone gets at least one thing that is important to them.

#80: Your mom goes through all this trouble you can have your little Lucy. Any meds are always something that shouldn't be in a human in the first place; I guess this is hard for Americans to understand, but meds shouldn't always be your first choice and solution to everything. #78: I have several different severe allergies. When exposed to each trigger, my throat usually swells nearly shut, my eyes turn red, itchy and teary and my mouth and hands swell. If you are seriously suggesting that I should be near any of my allergy triggers, I would like to tell you to sod off.

You gave her an ultimatum. It's your own damn fault. You could have told her what went down, and tried to do something before you went to the extreme, but you didn't. I'd have picked the cat too.
