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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

Tell him to get allergy medicine

Not that simple unfortunately. I have a cat allergy too and it just lessens the symptoms. I take enough meds that I get dizzy from them and still have horrible allergy attacks around cats.

indeed and if you take them for a number of time, the effect of the medicine diminishes

ktbird, stop going on this website just to argue with what people have to say. I think i speak for everyone when I say "YOU SUCK BALLS!!"

I agree with people plenty of times. I have already in this FML. But I am happy my disagreements are so memorable to you; that means they're working.

Allergy medicine isn't the only option. I'm extremely allergic to my boyfriend's roommate's dog. All I ask is that he wash his blankets to get all the dog dander off before I sleep over, and just not let the dog in the room while I'm there. It really isn't that bad after that. I also live with 3 cats that I am very allergic to, but a regularly vacuumed, cat-free room with a HEPA filter makes it better. I'm also allergic to my horse haha.... and every single thing growing outside.

I really should. I was never allergic to anything when I was little, these new allergies just keep appearing. I'm a total animal person, so it's really sad. I can't really keep myself away from animals, no matter how sick they make me :.(

146: My animal allergies lessened considerably when I started getting acupuncture. I'm allergic to pet dander in general, but I survived living for six months with 6 cats, 2 dogs and 2 ferrets without bursting into hives and ripping my own eyes out :D

Can't your boyfriend just take anti-allergy pills before he goes to your house??
dementxrs 12
anti-allergy pills? pretty sure it's just called allergy mrdicine, sweetheart.

Or medicine. But the ones I have are anti allergy pills, as they are pills not liquid.

If it’s the first time he woke up sneezing, I think they have not been together for a very long time. Not knowing where the relationship goes, I would have done the same thing

Chances are you and your BF aren't going to last and if you get rid of the cats and y'all break up then you're going to end up with nothing. I would take the cats too. And I'm scared of cats.
