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.

Who would choose a cat over their spouse? that's just not smart! You are going to end up an old lady with no man...... but don't worry you'll have your cats!

no one said anything about her spouse... she said her boyfriend which she obviously doesn't care for that much. And she could always just go out with someone who wasn't allergic to cats who she cares for more.

No she will probably end up a happy old lady with cats married to an old man who also loves cats.

Wow. That's pretty shallow. You're a bitch. Really.?? Cats over a guy.? Just Wow.

No it's not shallow. She made a commitment to look after something, and kept with it in spite of another offer. My cat is six. If a boyfriend of three months, probably less, was allergic and said she'd have to go, then he could get stuffed. OP obviously doesn't love him that much, so what's the point of them being together anyway?

Because clearly, no man in the universe will share her love for the four legged felines and will spend the rest of her life single. Right...

wtf is it with people and pets. It is not a person. it is not a baby. Or else, it wouldn't be property!

Shouldn't this be your boyfriend's FML? "Today the girl I love told me that she would rather spend her life alone with a pair of cats than be with me." I hope you enjoy being that single old lady with lots of cats.

It makes sense. I have a pet cat that i've had for years, it's part of who I am, and my life. It's MY responsibility to look after my cat for his whole life as well as the fact I care for my cat. If it's not possible for a guy to accept (or be allergic to) a pet or something else that is your life; then I get why OP picked the cat over him. She can always stay in contact with the guy and be able to look after the cats. Or she would be able to have the guy stay round who she probably break up with a couple of months later and have the cats, which she clearly cares for, put in a shitty cattery where they'll probably be out down.
