Is it normal ex boyfriend is demanding money for hospital bill?

We don't even live in the same country, first of all. We were together for three years and last summer I suffered a severe allergic reaction to something his mother may or may not have intentionally exposed me to (she was psychotic).

Well, I was home alone and called his mom for help, and she said (grudgingly) she would come get me. She didn't and I had to call the emergency services in a different language, terrified out of my mind. She didn't go to the hospital, she didn't even ask how I was.

Fast forward a few months later, my boyfriend and I are now broken up. I had been in contact with my insurance company to see if they would cover the fees, but they haven't been cooperative. Now my ex is demanding money for the bills, and I am willing to pay, but angry at the same time. He is a banker and doesn't need the money...I am a student and am short on cash. Is he doing this to spite me? My pride tells me I should pay, but it makes me angry all the same.

    I wouldn't pay the creep a dime. If he didn't want the money when you were together and you never agreed or suggested to pay when you were together, then he doesn't deserve it now.
    Sounds like you dumped a loser, good on you.

    I could go either way on this one. On one hand, it is your hospital bill and when it all comes down to it, you're responsible but on the other hand, it was when you two were still together and he paid it off already? Maybe it's best to just leave it. If my bf paid for something for me and agreed to it then asked to pay him back when we broke up? Hell no.

    You really shouldn't pay it. He paid the bill no questions asked at the time. You didn't borrow sh*t, you don't owe him sh*t. Besides, it his mother's carelessness that caused it. She's lucky you don't sue her. Tell him you'll pay him nothing, you never borrowed anything.
    Apparently psychotic runs in the family.

    Does he have any pets?

    Sell his pets then give him the money you make from that.
