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

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.

To be honest, i'd choose the cat as well.

I would have chosen the cat too-especially if the person in question came out with a jackass ultimatum the way you did.

Did you guys live together? That's ****** up if she kicked you out on the street. She could have found the cat a nice home.

honestly, what did you expect? if I were put in that position, I'd have chosen the cat too.

i would've chosen the cat too. you NEVER make her choose. :/

I’d choose the cat as well; there are medicines for you to help with your allergies

People who force ultimatums usually lose. If someone asked me to pick (without any effort on their part to resolve the problem) to choose between them and my pets I wouldn't even hesitate. No one who cares about me would ask me to do that.

haha dude pets ALWAYS win those battles. and that sucks, but no one likes an ultimatum. obviously you're allergic, but you should still respect the people and things your significant other loves, even if you don't like them :/

#4, 6, 17, 18, 22, 27: you obviously don't have allergies. you cant just go on meds and keep exposing yourself to the trigger. it just doesn't work. you need to eliminate the trigger if u plan on getting better. and just having her go to his house instead isn't good enough either b.c the dander on her clothes is enough to trigger a reaction. and reactions often are more serious than sneezing until you get away from the cat. OP: im allergic to cats too and am available.

Um I've owned cats my entire life and I'm very allergic to them but guess what? My medication keeps me from reacting. I have three cats right now.

anyone who gave me any ultimatum, i'd dump em on the spot. a pet is a like a child. and a boyfriend enough of a ******** to make the person he loves choose between their children or them, doesnt really love them

She'll probably end up with lots of them, so you actually dodged a bullet and she'll die alone.. =D

She'll die surrounded by cats she loves. OP will likely be the one to die alone
