Went to eat in restaurants, bought pot, cigarettes, alcohol all while your bill went on collection? That’s not what should be happening in a marriage.
I’d accept his offer of 900 to pay debt collectors and explain to him why. No Id not be dating him but I would treat this medical collection is marital debt, which he’s partially responsible for as it occurred during marriage. Why be married if not even share responsibilities?

I do not agree with that. It was my issue that sent me to the emergency room. We split our expenses 50/50 so sharing my bit of cost for an ER visit would be like him asking me to pay for his personal credit card debt.
I asked him for 1K to split the cost of the chair gift I gave him. That made me feel like CRAP.
I am not taking any sizable chunk of money from him, nor am I going to ask him for more. It doesn't feel right to me, so I am not going to do that.
