Entitled Dude Gives Girlfriend Of Two Months Cat UItimatum: It's Him Or The Cat

Prepare to hold yourselves back after reading the presumptuous ultimatum OP gave to his girlfriend of 2 months. In our experience, after two months of dating, things are still pretty relaxed, but you have a good idea at this point if things are headed in a serious direction or not. Regardless of whether or not things are heading in a serious direction, you are still your own independent person and you have the right to make your own decisions. 

OP thinks it is reasonable to demand that his girlfriend gets rid of her cat following his complaint of 'maybe having a slight allergy.' Bear in mind that this 'slight allergy' can be addressed with a Benadryl and a glass of water, but that's none of our business.

    Font - Me (33M) and Alice (27F) started dating a couple of months ago and we really clicked. On one of our early dates Alice mentioned she was thinking of adopting a cat and I told her I prefer dogs and think I am allergic to cats. A whole two months go by and things are going great. We are moving quickly because I feel like I know what I want and I'm not trying to mess around anymore, I want to settle. The other day Alice tells me she and her friend are going to a shelter and she's planning to

    Font - after she got the cat she kept asking me what's wrong. I told her it was so inconsiderate of her to get the cat because I am allergic and what if we decide to move in together one day? I said I don't see this working out if she plans to keep the cat. She told me I'm overreacting and we just started dating so I shouldn't try to "control" her and that I told her it's fine so now she already has the cat. I insisted she take it back and she said she was not going to, so I said fine it's the c

    Font - I talked to a female friend about this who said I'm being TA and if Alice can "take birth control every day" for me then I can "take a benodryl and chill". A male friend agreed with me that Alice is inconsiderate. AITA? 1184 Comments +| Award 88% Upvoted •..

    Font - MeldoRoxls · 6 hr. ago O 2 Partassipant [1] You're 33 years old and have been dating this woman for two months... Two whole months to feel entitled to dictate what she does with her own damn life? Of course YTA. I hope she picks the cat. IT will be with her for 15 or so years. I give YOU about 2 more days. 8.4k 5 Reply Share •..

    Font - Temporary_Badger · 6 hr. ago Colo-rectal Surgeon [44] lol YTA. You want a girlfriend of a couple months to not get a pet because you think you're allergic? Maybe you could at least see an allergist before you throw your little tantrum? If you want to settle down you're going to need to grow up first. 3.0k Reply Share •..

    Font - Amblonyx · 6 hr. ago Certified Proctologist [23]] YTA, YTA, YTA. You have been dating her two MONTHS and you already think you get to decide whether she can have a pet based on MAYBE being allergic?! Her life isn't all about you. You actually told your girlfriend of 2 months to give up her cat. That's incredibly controlling.

    Font - mm172 · 6 hr. ago Prime Ministurd [464] YTA. We are moving quickly because I feel like I know what I want Well, if what you want is a partner who hasn't wanted a cat since before you turned up, it kinda pays to slow down and figure out whether this is a dealbreaker or not. Which it clearly is, since she's not choosing you over the cat, so just accept that you're incompatible and move on. 1.5k Reply Share ...

    Font - cat-lover76 · 5 hr. ago Partassipant [2] "I prefer dogs and think I am allergic to cats." In other words, OP just doesn't want to live with a cat -- if he were actually allergic to cats, he would know it. I'm rooting for the cat, too (for you cheeky Brits, that means I hope the cat wins). 574 Reply Share •..

    Font - tulipbunnys · 3 hr. ago · edited 3 hr. ago i am actually allergic to cats (developed it just last year) and i adopted one shortly after noticing the symptoms. a zyrtec a day is totally worth having my cat, and OP is pathetic for trying to weaponize an unconfirmed allergy against a girlfriend of TWO MONTHS. talk about red flags and control issues. YTA OP. nobody gives a crap if you prefer dogs over cats. your girlfriend is entitled to adopt whatever animal she likes and i hope she kicks yo

    Font - arkinnox · 4 hr. ago Well he apparently has no problem soliciting opinions from others on her. Her opinion of the matter (that he wasn't communicating, that he is controlling, that they barely started dating) is quite inconsequential by comparison. 446 J Reply Share ••.
