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.

Forget him then! It sounds like you have had the cats longer than him anyway, what kind of asshole boyfriend would ask you to get rid of your pets? My boyfriend of 3 years is allergic to cats, and he still lives with my 2 cats because he can man up and deal with it, the cats are also semi hypoallergenic which helps, but he wouldn't DREAM of ever making me choose him or my pets. Dump this ass for an animal lover.

yeah agreed, if he makes the ultimatum it should be bye-bye to him. he needs to be willing to compromise, especially if your cats are so important to you

Yea I'm allergic to cats too and you really can't just tough it out. If cats are more important to you than men then just buy 40 more, move into a dirty trailer and get it over with, crazy cat lady.

Crazy cat ladies actually love their cats. They wouldn't buy 40 of them, because that would make them unhappy. And I'd definitely pick my cat over some ****** asking me to abandon pets I've cared for for months or years. There are plenty of non allergic dudes in the world. I can take looking at other girls, watching ****, watching football and sports, coming home drunk, partying with friends, being ignored in front of friends, not being called for days, seeing the chores ignored, and some other things that seem to be absolutely abominable for most girls. I can stop eating peanuts for an allergic, meat for a vegetarian, various things for a religious partner... You'll have to excuse me, though, if I can't fathom abandoning a fluffy living being, ever.
