If this is happening to a man instead of woman I don't think it would be this complicated.

Hay, I'm a woman myself and not againts feminism... but I have to admit that it probably did. I ask my boy friend what happen if he got into an accident and become immortall all of a sudden just like Adaline. He's not watching the movie yet and he answered that he made a lot of money while he's immortal, spend the money, go travelling and just living the live while he's immortal. And I ask him what about relationship and married? Would you be lonely? And he laugh while answering my question. He said that he probably wouldn't thinking about relationsip if he's immortal and rich.

There was an old Twilight Zone episode like that about a man who is ageless and has lived for thousands lf years. He too would involve himself with young women, and eventually leave them to keep his secret intact.

When I'm good, I'm GOOD. When I'm bad, I'm BETTER.

The board would be up in arms about a 107 year old man trying to sleep with 20 somethings.

If main of this movie character would have been a guy...

He would have been babyfaced 40 year old guy that would have been ridiculed during WWII if he didn't sign up for military and if he did join the military... all sorts of suffering would have followed. Assuming he survived the war, awkward veterans meetings would have followed in decades to come with funerals of guys who he served with.

Supporting characters...

Mike, the 22 year old guy who threw grenade in room occupied by civilians in France 1944 and never got over it, offed himself in mid 50's.

if he already had a kid like she did it would be different. He'd not enjoy watching his child grow old.

Star Trek had an episode about that. Called Requiem for Methuselah.
