lovely scene in sherlock holmes
temporary separated
the man said:" Now i want you know that...i understand that this separation isn't just some..waiting period. I put you in second position for too long. And you deserve better. So i'm gonna work to give it to you. I'm not gonna throw in the towel (give it up). You take this time do what you got to do, and i'll take it too. Figure out what i can do better."
I reckon thats call real man with real love....
