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.

Good for you OP. Boyfriends come and go, and it's unlikely that this one would've lasted, considering that most relationships don't work out. If you had chosen the boyfriend, most likely a while down you'd be posting a FML about how you got rid of your babies for your boyfriend and your boyfriend just left you. Find a guy who likes cats, and you'll be much happier.

I believe OP chose the right thing. I would chose my beloved cats instead of a boy. There are plenty of fish in the sea, but I wouldn't sacrifice a boy for a loving family member (which people do call animals). Loving your animal doesn't make you a "crazy cat lady" or anything. Just because you like a food doesn't mean you're a "crazy pizza lady" or something.

There is such a thing as allergy shots, and allergy medication. He could wind up only sneezing if the cat sticks its fur in his face. Also, this is more his FML than yours.

definitely choose the cats. what kind of bastard are you dating that would make you give up your cats? besides, if you two broke up, hey at least you still have your cats. how awful would that be, breaking up and realizing you abandoned your beloved pets for nothing?

#52 has a point. very valid and concise. anyways, op don't feel bad he gave you a choice you chose. so what?people shouldn't give ultimatums if they aren't willing to accept the fact they might lose. women try pulling that stuff all the time. it doesn't work, your bf needs to be exed.
