For cat lovers, it’s clear that cats boost our mental health with their whiskers, fuzzy faces, meows, and head nudges. Non-cat owners are missing out on this charm. But not everyone is a cat lover.

OP’s been with their partner for 3 years, adopting cats to help with mental health struggles. They planned marriage a year ago, with OP repeatedly confirming their partner was okay with keeping the cats before finalizing the marriage this year. Now, his father insists OP get rid of the cats due to allergies from visiting family. Despite OP’s efforts to accommodate with an air purifier, the partner argues, disrespects, and swears at OP over the issue. OP refuses to rehome the cats, having discussed this extensively with their partner beforehand. They wonder if standing firm makes them the a******, despite feeling they’re doing what’s right.
