Fifty-something women don't get over their last chance at happiness who just happens to be a famous, dashing movie star so quickly.

And you have personal knowledge of this ... how?

Why in the hell do you take up for a low-life traitor like Dowd? She deserves a lot worse than being dumped.

I've seen several women of the 40-50 age range get dumped by boyfriends whom they had hoped to spend the rest of their lives with.

These women were absolutely devastated - generally they'd spent several years of "serious" looking for the right guy who would be their "last chance" only to have the relationship fold within months - and be continuously dissected for years afterward.

I can only imagine what the amplifying effect of having a movie star thrown into the mix would be.
