And it rained several days while it was there.
So there's no freaking way I'm ever going to Paris.
Actually, I am. The problem is that your post is so ridiculous that it simply invites that kind of response. Because one friend had a relationship that went bust, you're ready to broom the entire idea of relationships? My God, that's a pathetic way to think. And my analogy framed it rather perfectly.

Add my roommate's situation to already a lot of doubt and you get my response. I already had the broom in my hands and his situation gives me more incentive to sweep.

Whine, whine, whine. Has it ever occurred to you that your roommate acted like an idiot? He dated a girl for eight years, was even engaged to her, then called things off. So she manages to pick herself up off the floor after apparently wasting almost a full decade on the guy and manages to find someone great. And yet it's her fault? You're feeling sorry for him? Do you realize how ass-backwards that is?
It's pretty simple. If you break off an engagement, that's serious, something that pretty much destroys all trust in a relationship. Heck, for all we know, she had announced to the world that the two were getting hitched. The parents might have put a deposit down on the hall for the reception. The announcement might have run in the paper. And then the guy humiliated her by having second thoughts. Well, if you're having second thoughts and break things off, then you don't get to be possessive. That's p*ssy behavior, my friend. And if his precious internship is suffering for it, it's his own damned fault for being such a knuckle-dragging halfwit who apparently lives without wisdom.
The guy jerked her around and is now inconsolable that she managed to find someone better in short order. Sounds as if he's the one who needs our contempt, not the girl.
You seem to be living your life in constant fear that someone is going to hurt you one day. So you keep posting and starting threads about how you are never going to fall in love, that you are never going to get married, blah blah blah. Obviously - you are looking for us to talk you out of it or something - otherwise you wouldn't keep starting threads about it and complaining about it all the time. You are too afraid of getting hurt to even try? Fine. That's your decision. Why all the fuss about it? Are there women banging down your door trying to force you into a relationship with them? Are the relationship police on your trail? If not - then I don't see what the big deal is. There are lots of scared people out there that never go outside their comfort zone. Nothing wrong with that if that is how you choose to live your life.
Relationships are nothing but stress and most will end at some point. I shy aware from relationships for the simple fact that I know that cheating is rampant and that only a very small percentage of relationships are unconditional.

Yep.
Life is about choices.
Some just work harder to make the best ones they can, even when life deals them a bad hand

While it was not funny and stupid (in fact quite so). It does look fitting. You can't let that experience influence you THAT much. I'm sure your roomate will find someone who deserves him (if he wants it). you don't need to have a relationship with someone. It's cool and no one should put you down for it.
