If yes, do you believe you have ever fallen victim to The Sweater Curse?

If you believe one or more of your previous relationships have fallen victim to The Sweater Curse, tell me about it here. Some points to think about:
How long were you with the person before you began to knit the garment?
Why did you deicde to knit for them?
What did you knit for them?
Did they know that you were knitting the garment?
Did they have any input on the design, or the materials used?
Did you complete the garment before your relationship ended?
If you did complete the garment before your relationship ended, how long after you gave the garment to your partner did you break up?
