I’m Irish marrying a South African, and know many South Africans, no need to paint them all with a bad brush.
There’s millions more South Africans than you think, plenty bleeps, but there’s absolutely PLENTY MORE wonderful, kind, generous, gracious, loyal ones that are definitely not chauvinistic or misogynistic.
They are definitely more self-confident/proud (that can come across as arrogant for a regular Irish person) and have less issue with “shame” that irish have deeply ingrained - but I’ve found South African men genuinely to be more respectful to the promise of monogamy and commitment of a marriage and making a family than Irish men.
Saffas also say exactly what they mean, and if they like you they will look after you, unlike a lot of Irish who put on a front but will talk tit about you behind your back, and not actually be friends with you at all.
Unless you’ve lived there, or friends with them, then you really don’t know.

People need to relax 
it’s not a personal attack on everyone’s South African husbands … hence why I said “I don’t know her husband he could be the nicest man ever”
Stereotypes are around for good reason… I’ve met plenty of South African men who fit the mould… I’m not tarring a nation the dramatics
I also know lots of nice South Africans CHILL

It’s ok
started the audio book today, really enjoying it so far . I find the relationship stories so relatable. It amazing how carry ourselves in our youth only to look back on now and cringe . She’s a breath of fresh air
Is the audiobook narrated by herself?
Yes it is.
I have a feeling she is pregnant! Every month around her period or ovulation she would come on talking about it and post a video relating to the one week window etc then a few weeks later she started saying how tired she was, exhausted, going for naps.. extra tired! 
Since then there has been no more monthly talking about trying or period pains.. then going by her stories this morning I feel like maybe she has her 12 week scan! That would tie in with when I started to think she was pregnant! I could be completely wrong but I just have a feeling! It would be so lovely!

She did that video of pregnancy symptoms being like period symptoms on 1st August so doubt it. It could be some kind of fertility treatment. But I think it's more professional that she's doing a panel show that's why she got her hair doneI have a feeling she is pregnant!

My sense of time is waaaaaay off. Oops.. I genuinely thought she had posted them months ago!
She has the big 3Arena gig at the end of February too so the timing wouldn't suit that if she is pregnant.
I like how she spoke so openly about their hopes to have a baby. She'd be a great mammy! Hope it works out for them
