The Kaleb
The Kaleb is the guy a (now) married girl dates RIGHT before dating the guy she will later marry. The Kaleb is most often a horror story of a relationship, and may include one or all of the following:
crippling insecurity via the kaleb.
abuse (verbal, sexual, physical, anything goes).
substance abuse.
cheating.
general red flags (manipulation, immature, projecting, etc.).
all around asshole-ish behavior
usually a relationship with The Kaleb ends with either a grand, dramatic and often relieving dumping of The Kaleb, who is never to be seen again, or the death of The Kaleb due to any of the reasons above, although most often substance abuse.
overall, a total asshat of a guy that is such a common archetype of douchebag that almost every married/engaged couple has a version of him across the world.

person 1: its been awhile since we last talked, what happened to that girl you dated?
person 2: I literally could not have been worse to her, I hear she got engaged to another guy just a few months afterwards and I cant even blame her.
person 1: so you're The Kaleb?
person 2: yeah pretty much man.
