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

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 decision! Pets are a life-long responsibility, just like children, and I totally lose respect for anyone that gives away their pets because they get a new boyfriend or girlfriend who is allergic or makes them make that kind of choice. Plus then if you broke up after giving away your cats, you'd be left with even less and would be even more depressed. Plus. you're really going to want someone who's an animal person.

I agree with her decision. Those who disagree have clearly never had their own pets before. (Parents' and roommates' pets don't count as YOUR pets). Pets are a part of the family for a lot of people. Obviously she hasn't been dating him very long. This was his first time to her house, clearly.

Well this kind of pisses me off. Every time someone posts something about being dumped after giving their partner an ultimatum it's a YDI. So why does OP deserve it when she didn't set the ultimatum? You make no sense, fellow posters.

the problem with this is that she rates her pets over her boyfriend so she obbiously had no real feelings for him at all if she rates her cats over her boyfriend.

Well not really.It never said she doesn't love him she jut love her animals more. Plus cats can live up to over 17 years old. Most relationships don't last that long. I know what it's like to be attached to your pet that much. I can understand how OP feels about this. Animals are better than people, too :D

simple solution... marry your cats and create an evil cat/human hybrid...

um I think it's the right decision OP. you had the cats when you started dating so why is he being a bitch now? ultimatums always end with a fail.
