exit from all methods in an object in ruby

How to break outer cycle in Ruby?

say I have this code:

class A

  def initialize
    myMethod()
    print "This should not be printed"
  end

  def myMethod
    #here
  end

end

obj = A.new
print "This should be printed"

Is there any command that I can place instead of "#here" that would exit the 'obj' object and continue to the next statement? (print "This should be printed")

throw/catch will do it:

class A

  def initialize
    catch :init_done do
      myMethod()
      print "This should not be printed"
    end
  end

  def myMethod
    throw :init_done
  end

end

obj = A.new
print "This should be printed"
