Cats and Love: Don't make me choose

Don't make me choose

By Ames - 23/05/2009 16:07 - United States

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, 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, 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

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 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, I brought my boyfriend to my house for the first time. He freaked out when he saw my cat, and had to leave because he's allergic. I've posted many pictures of my cat in Instagram, but he didn't say anything about his allergy because he thought it was just a random cat. 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, my boyfriend informed me that sharing a bed with me was like sleeping with a seizing cat. FML

Today, like every other day for the past two weeks, the strange cat that has adopted me inexplicably made its way into my house and curled up next to my head while I slept. I'm horribly allergic. 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

Never make someone choose between you and the pet they probably had before they knew you, and who will still love them after your relationship ends. Either take some antihistimines and deal with it, or accept defeat now.

That's pretty harsh but I wouldn't call this a FML unless he continually gets out of bed in the middle of the night to sleep with the cat.

haha, i'd never date anyone who was allergic to my pets (unfortunately, it just woulnd't work) or someone who didn't like pets (anyone who hates animals isn't worth knowing ;) )

OP tell him there's only room for one pussy in his life. Really no girl should ever have to start a catfight to gain the spotlight of her own man. fyl

How is this an FML? Seriously. Get over it. Either take allergy meds, shut up, or deal with it however you need to be. Cats can get lonely. especially if they're used to sleeping next to their masters. When it comes right down to it most people pick their pets over their partners.

The cat will always be more important. She should accept this now or leave. I think her life if ****** only if she stays.

So? He obviously loves the cat. I'd ditch my boyfriend for my dog in a second, not everything is about you.

I don't see the problem here. If the cat is used to sleeping with him, then yes, it would be sad if it was locked out of the room. He has probably had the cat longer than he has dated you. Pets are like family members. Who cares if he switched rooms in the middle of the night? How does that even affect you, since you are sleeping? "Oh my god, my boyfriend is such a good person that he cares for his pets. FML" Wtf?
