The Worst Way to Leave Your Lover

From the novel, Shameless, I'm reading.

1) Invite your partner of five years to meet you at a trendy gay bar for drinks.
2) Fail to show up.
3) Stood up partner waits around (you have a bad habit of being late) and finally gives up several hours later.
4) When parnter gets home, he reacts in alarm that some of the furniture is missing. He think's he's been burgled until he discovers only your clothes are gone while his are still in the closet.
5) Finally, he finds your note in which you tell him you're dumping him for someone else and you don't love him anymore.

Later, of course, he finds out you've left him for an Italian rent boy.
