Had no idea that infeliz could mean unhappy, does it also mean disgrace here?

The way I would translate it would be,

So you went off with that good for nothing.

Infeliz when describing a person is someone very low class. Has nothing to do with happy.

I love the word "infeliz" - wretch, creep, person who is a mess.

"Así que me dejaste por ese infeliz?" - so you left me for that creep? confused

This is a great word...I'm going to remember it. - --Mariana--, May 5, 2010
Yes! Those are excellent alternatives too! :-) "Wretch" in particular - what a great word to describe an "infeliz"! - Gekkosan, May 5, 2010

I partially agree with Kmeza. "Infeliz" can mean a number of things depending on context. "low-life" is one of them; and "unhappy person" is another.

Also: "That poor sod", "that loser", "that poor devil"..I think you get the idea.

Disgrace may apply in the sense that a disgraced person may feel very unhappy, and thus be "infeliz".
