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, 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, 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, I told my wife if she wanted to get a divorce, she just had to get a cat since I'm deathly allergic. She got two. 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 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 for allergy testing. Apparently, one of my worst allergies is cats. I'm a "crazy cat lady" who loves anything cat-related and has 3 cats. Allergy shots, here I come. FML

Today, after 3 years of studying to be a veterinarian, I found out I may not be able to continue. It's not because I'm failing my classes, but because my body has developed an allergy to cats. FML

That was a bit selfish of you. There are such things as allergy medicine. To some people, their pets are like their children. And for you to make such an ultimatum is an asshole move. Good job.

Take some antihistamines, you can't just expect someone to give up their pet for you, especially since it would almost certainly be killed at the shelter.

That's what you get for presenting an ultimatum at all. Asshole.

i'd choose the cat. you can try medication... even if she was your girlfriend of two years... you must considerate that the cat is also important to her...

I'm assuming that a lot of the people telling this guy to "man up" and get medication/shots don't have significant allergies to anything. Allergy medications and allergy shots don't work for everyone. I got allergy shots for 5 years. All they did was make mine worse. And the only allergy medication that does anything for me is Claritin, but even that doesn't make the allergies go away. It just makes the symptoms slightly less severe. Just because they work for some people doesn't mean they'll work for everyone. Should he have tried them out first, instead of giving her that ultimatum? Sure, that would have been a great idea. But you shouldn't just assume that once he starts taking them, everything would be worked out.
