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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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
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 told me I had to get rid of my cats, or he would leave. He punched a hole in my wall when I told him I chose the cats. FML
Today, I went to meet my boyfriend's parents for the first time. While I was there, I started to get really itchy. Turns out they have 5 cats. Guess what I'm allergic to? FML
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 discovered that my son has an allergy to cats. My partner of two years, not wanting to fight, suggested a compromise: that my son and the cat take turns sleeping outside. FML
Today, my roommates adopted two kittens without consulting me. We're not allowed to have pets in our apartment and I'm severely allergic to cats. Oh well, it's not like I needed to be able to breathe this summer. 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

Bravo for keeping your cats! It's nice to see at least one person who won't dump them just because their bf is allergic.

You're a real piece of work. Good luck getting laid, you worthless, effing bastard. (trying to keep it clean for the mods... -gonk.-) Oh, and OP, ANY guy that gives you an ultimatum is a P.O.S. Srsly. You're on the right track with dumping him. :)

I'd choose my cat too. I also wouldn't date someone who wouldn't be willing to take some allergy medicine in order to be with me. When you adopt a pet, you agree to take care of it for the rest of its life. Period.

I agree with the people who are saying she made the right choice. Let's look at what would most likely happen if she got rid of the cats... OP gives away her cats for her boyfriend, who I'm assuming hasn't been in a relationship for long with her, considering he only mentioned his allergies now. Boyfriend dumps OP, on the chance that they don't work out, and OP is left with nothing. Owners can get really attached to their pets, they form a bond. OP was given a really hard choice. Give away her 2 cats which she's probably had for a long time, and who she's grown attached to or dump a hopefully nice guy. OP can't just buy more cats, it isn't the same. I, being an animal lover, would probably choose my cats and my dog over a guy, depending on the situation. My current boyfriend hates cats, but no, I wouldn't dump him over that. It's not his fault he has different preferences. But, if he gave me an ultimatum like OP's boyfriend did, then I would choose my pets. OP's boyfriend has to understand that it's not fair to make someone choose between their loving pets, or their significant other. He can try to take allergy medication, and if that doesn't help, then he can compromise with OP. Simple as that.

I don't want to sound stupid or anything, but what does "FTW" mean?

F--- The World or For The Win. Most likely For The Win, because no one is old school like me and actually REMEMBERS it meaning F--- The World.

You people should know that when anyone gives an ultimatum like that, this is the first step to a series of contol measures used to establish dominance. It has nothing to do with love.

I would have chose the cats too if he made me make a choice! not because of my love for cats but because I hate when people are like you can have me or whatever it is!

You TOTALLY did the right thing in choosing the cats. I have had my cat for the past 10 years, and he has been the one thing that has stuck by my side through it all. Boyfriends came and went, and he's still there at the foot of the bed or next to me every night. (Not that he has much of a choice, but he could go sleep with my brother if he felt the need.) If he makes you get rid of them, what will you do when he leaves you? You'd be stuck alone, and who knows how long it could be before that changes? Cats FTW >^.^
