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
Collection
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
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.

She's not a crazy cat lady. When you commit to keeping a pet, you're committing to them for the rest of their lives. Boyfriends and girlfriends come and go, but a healthy, indoor cat can live for up to 12-15 years. It's completely understandable for people to treat their pets as if they were their own children, their best friends or their family because of this. Allergy medication is the obvious solution though. xD

Despite the fact you're both idiots for not thinking of allergy medication... He deserves better than you. I mean, it literally causes him pain and suffering...and you clearly don't care. So...go DIAF and let him find someone better.

You kidding? If your girlfriend/boyfriend was in pain from like.... your baby sister/brother, would you take them away because it caused your girlfriend/boyfriend pain? Probably not. The dude could have just asked her to stay over his house!

i just want to say well apparently cats are very important in her life so who cares if that's what she choses. and on top of that it's not like they're married! they're just dating, so he's just not the one for her obviously if she's able to chose the cats over him. people are dicks...

Okay, so I just wanted to tell you that it's not a bad thing to be gay or a lesbian, and you should stop speaking like it is. You're a ******* dumbass for reacting like that. From the FML it seems like Op's (ex)boyfriend didn't know how allergic to her cats he was, which means they can't have been together that long, or he'd have known. He obviously didn't love her or he wouldn't have made her choose. Really the only reason I even commented on this was because you're promoting gay as a bad thing, and it's not, you homophobic bastard.

That's rediculus, first of all, he probobly realy liked you, considering he tried to put up with his allergies as best he could, without making anyone worry. And sence he sleeping over, the relationship isn't like some fling, it sounds rather serious. The easiest way to avoid this problem would be giving the cats to a close friend, so they can still be seen and loved, and you could continue dating. Don't think I'm an animal, hater, I have pets, and if I was put in this situation, I would do just that!

I just don't understand why he didn't just let her sleep over his house.
