You are better off without him and it sounds like you have a great attitude. You will meet someone wonderful who makes you feel like a million bucks and it will be HIS loss. You have the right attitude. If I were you, I would take the frogged yarn for the sweater and make a bunch of chemo caps or make a nice scarf and give it away as a gift! Even better, use it for your preemie project! You can throw him out, but don't waste good yarn! Maybe it will be therapeudic for you to make it into something else (when you are ready). Good luck and hang in there. You are doing a great job.
I felt pretty bad reading your post - in time you will be much stronger with this happening. By any chance do you spin???? Get back with me - I have an idea :)
"You can throw him out, but don't waste good yarn!"
Though this topic hasn't been posted in in over a month, I'm just now reading through the curse forum....
I just seem to be always be hearing about these immature males hotfooting it somewhere it seems-- another one today that absconded with a re-modeled motor home given as a gift to the young couple by the Bride's parents, AND the Jeep that was paid for. I know that you didn't deserve this. There is something odd going on out there, and it's not only happening to knitters.
May you recover your center, put all this behind you and have blessings come your way in abundance.
