Hey guys, a little background with me and my old friend. I knew him since he was literally in diapers. We were friends for a lot of my childhood, then we stopped talking and became friends again in middle school. To make it short, he was a trouble maker so I stayed away from him. Like almost a decade later, he has a wife and kids I think.
To me, friendships are 50/50, but I realize that someone has to make the very 1st initiation, so hey, if you want to, try & see!
I'm sure you'll be able to sense or tell if he wants to start a friendship again & if you guys do, remember, friendships are 50/50 in which no one person's doing most of the calling, initiating to hang out, etc. because no one's any better than the other person, so they need to EQUALLY value the friendship.
But remember, since he's married w/ kids, expect him not to get together much...maybe about once or twice a year, IF even that. I have an SO, but no kids yet, but w/ my schedule & my (single & childless) cousin's, we can only manage to get together about once a year & we talk on the phone once a month, which comes around fast.

Hope it works out!
He sent me a friend request on facebook out of nowhere one time. I never messaged him back but now I did; so I want to see where it goes. He was pretty cool but he just was a troublemaker. I really hope that he has changed and settled down on all those things.

Having a wife and child is a fairly strong indicator. Not a slam dunk, but a good start. No reason not to give it a shot and see where it goes! If he PMs you back and asks you what afternoon you're free to go out robbing liquor stores and holding up banks just for old times' sake, you'll know it wasn't such a bright idea after all, and you can come up with some sort of excuse.
By the way... none of my business, but... you do realize your screen name is misspelled, right? They can fix that for you, you know.

I hope I hear a reply from him. I need some kind of real life friend after my last one moved away.
I guess I can message them to see if they can correct the typo.

Should I try to be friends with him again?
Why ask us? Especially since you provide no information. You don't give us any reason to imagine you should be friends. Were you going to base a friendship on his having a wife and kids?
People friend request on Facebook at the drop of a hat. I have many "Facebook" friends who requested me and I truly believe they wouldn't give me the time of day.

I am sorry to hear that, how incredibly rude of them.
