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.

That would make you a bitch and he's better off with someone better than yourself. Maybe even a dog.

Why did you do that? Are you gonna marry the cats one day? Will the cats help you concieve children? No. YDI for picking an animal over someone who could possibly be your future. Have fun being a cat lady!

Good choice. After all, your cats depend on you. They clearly love you if they're your babies. And if some guy thinks he can come around and tell you to get rid of them, clearly you can do better.

Obviously they haven't been dating long. She just found out he's allergic to her cats, which is usually something that comes up pretty early in a relationship. I would choose the animals over a new boyfriend anyday. I love my boyfriend(we're soon-to-be parents), and I know that if I had an animal he didn't like, we'd work it out. No ultimatum will be discussed. Like for instance, I love bull terriers. He thinks they're ugly. But I know that if I got one, he'd deal with it because it's an animal I'm connected to. He wants a pet snake. I don't hate snakes, but I'd prefer to not have one. But if he got one, I'd deal with it. I wouldn't feed it or touch it, but I wouldn't make him get rid of it. Giving someone you care for an ultimatum shows that you care more for yourself than their happiness, at least in my opinion.
