 Un-friend him and block him. He sounds like he is unhappy and is trying to grab some of your happiness.
He sounds a little pathetic honestly and not capable of being a "real" or "facebook" friend to you.

In my opinion he could be looking for some excitement in his life. Married life has probably become rather dull etc and you came to mind so he searched you on FB.
He is probably testing the water with you by coming out with silly comments like "we could have been so happy"! Why do I say this? Because I have been through something similar and I nipped it in the bud.
In saying that, I may be wrong - However, if he persists with the reminiscing I would just put him straight and drop it in that marriage life is bliss!

 Some people really like to think about "what if" and mull ocer the past and what they could have.
The fact is, the grass is ALWAYS greener and it used to be that we could grieve and get on with life - but places like facebook make it very easy to revisit old loves or groups or ideals and they can really make you want to explore those what if's even more and speak freely with people we should have been open with a long time ago.
I do not think it would be wise to keep this man on your facebook. You have said hi and allowed him a look into your life and now he knows you're alright, he has to move on and stop procrastinating over the past.
I don't think its weird, but it is definitely less than desirable!
Good luck!

 Next time he mentions how happy you and could have been remind him how lucky and fortunate you are to have had the life you have, without him in it. And then I would block him completely, he sounds weird.
