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.

Ditch him OP. Trust me, from one animal lover to another, he's not worth it. You need a boyfriend/husband/whatever that loves them as much as you do or it will always cause problems. My dog has a $1000 surgery coming up which I happily pay for. If I'd married a guy that didn't love dogs like I do, he'd probably ignore the problem or worse. But since he's another animal lover he's supportive. Treat them like children. You wouldn't date a guy that hates your kids either (hypothetically).

What you said. My dogs are my world...I wouldn't be with anyone who didn't respect that.

Honestly I wouldn't stay with someone who made me choose between them and my pets anyway. People who give you ultimatums aren't worth it.

She's a weirdo if she chose the cats over her bf. Crazy cat lady in the makeing.

YDI for having cats, crazy cat lady! YDI for having a boyfriend, *****! am I missing any angles on this one? oh yeah... YDI for using a comma instead of a colon after the word "ultimatum"!

I'm with #62 and many others: Anyone who would give you such an ultimatum is not worth the breath it takes to tell them to GTFO. I'm thankful to have a SO who understands that ultimatums are for assholes; compromise is where it's at. Even then, he's more into my cat than I am ;) OP, I hope you have the guts to actually go through with it. Your kitties depend on you and will always love you, for the rest of their short little lives.
