deadbeat buyer 

The typical buyer on craigslist. Unlike ebay, there is no obligation to buy something on craigslist. A deadbeat buyer is a person that informs you that they want to look at or purchase your product on craigslist. They will get your address and arrange for a time to come buy or look at your item. In reality, they never show up or call you to inform you that they are no longer interested.
"A guy named Mark called to say he is on his way over now to pickup the TV I have listed on craigslist."

One hour later, after no call or email.

"Looks like Mark was just another deadbeat buyer on craigslist."

deadbeat husband 

A man who calls himself a husband yet does not fulfill his obligations as one. Neglects his home, his duties as a provider, will not help with maintaining of finances and leaves the responsibilities of the future on his wife to shoulder alone. This man also has a habit of crediting himself for all of his wife's hardwork. He also has a habit of mentally abusing his wife and acting as the superior or authority in the household.
My husband decides when and where to communicate about our family needs. He decides when a conversation is over or he isn't the one winning. He is immature and often calls me horrible names in front of our child. He puts me down in front of his family and friends and blames me for his behavior. Then when all is said and done acts like nothing ever happened painting himself as a saint in front of everyone, and threatens to make my life miserable if I do not make him a happy man.
