So you give up on love and relationships because your roommate has difficulty? Who cares? This has no bearing on you, your love life or women/men in general.
And this is ludicrous:

Men get a new gf the 'flavor of the month' 2 days after their breakups
I've never once seen this, but I don't hang around 14 year olds. Must be restricted to them. A real man never does this, couldn't do it and wouldn't do it.
There are men like that. Perhaps you haven't noticed. What is interesting is how women are so very attracted to this type. Moths to a flame, I suppose.
What part makes you not want to get into a relationship?
The fact that your RM broke up with someone after 8 years?
The fact that his GF rebounded well?
The fact that he is upset with his decision?
Of course putting your heart into another person may result in heartache. That's life.
Dissenter doesn't have to do it if he doesn't want to. Especially if it's going to result in heartache.
If this is potentially what happens when you put your heart into another person, I'm not sure I even want to go there with this love thing.
Eight years sounds like they were together since high school or early college at least.
People change and grow a lot from 18 to 30ish and it's not surprising or uncommon for couples who got together so young to eventually crash and burn.
The problem is, since they didn't date others before being together so long, they have not had an opportunity prior to now to develop the kind of coping skills most others in shorter term relationship have had to.
While what they are going through is very painful for them and hard to watch for you, it's just a right of passage in the adult world. Don't fear it to the point of avoiding a chance at love! That's not the right path.
Millions of us have been there, and I know it's no fun when you are going through it, but it really can help you find a better partner and relationship in the long run.
The key is to learn how to work through all the lessons this kind of pain can bring to grow into stronger, wiser people.
Encourage your roommate to stay busy and to get very physical. A long run or serious workout will help him rid his body of a lot of the stress hormones that are contributing to him feeling so badly right now.

See how that doesn't work?
Don't even go down this road. Those three things you mentioned aren't optional. Love is optional.
