AITAH for laughing at my crying ex husband and calling his suffering karma?

A Reddit user shared a story about an unexpected visit from her ex-husband, who divorced her years ago to pursue a life with kids—something they had originally agreed not to have. After their split, he quickly remarried, started a family, and now finds himself overwhelmed with the responsibilities and challenges of parenting.

Recently, he appeared on her doorstep, tearfully expressing regret and asking if she’d take him back. Shocked by his request and unable to hide her reaction, she laughed and told him that this might be “karma” for leaving her in the first place. Read her full story below for more details:
