The crime in Cape Town is nowhere near as bad as you make out. Take it from a native Cape Tonian (that's me, by the way)! Obviously if you Google "Crime in Cape Town" you'll find some horror stories, but you could do the same for any city in the world and get equally horrifying results. Behave the same as you would in New York and you'll be fine.
So hopefully that's one less thing for you to worry about.
I'm away from my wife for 10 days every month and my wife hates it (in fact, she's telling me that I'm going to have to find another job). She makes it so much harder on herself (and me) because she never stops thinking about it. 4 days before I go she'll be depressed and I haven't even left yet. She thinks about why I'm not there all day and it makes the time drag and her even more depressed. So keep yourself occupied, try not to dwell on it and he'll be back before you know it.
