My dad met this girl online and after 2 weeks of being together they already bought a house in another city and decided to get married. My dad has been married and divorced twice and I know that this relationship between him and this girl isn't going to work out but he won't listen to me. What should I do

Your dad is an adult - and although you don't agree with his decisions - you are going to have to support them. I'm not sure of your age (living conditions) - but you should make your feelings known to your dad. In the most respectful way possible. After that - all you can do is be supportive. He is going to make the decisions he wants to make and if you don't support him after you let him know how you feel - the run the risk alienating him (especially if you are an adult).
Good luck!

You should tell him how you feel. But remember.. he may not listen to you cause yes he is an adult... but he is probably trying to make sure your both happy... my mom is doing that with guys right now. She's getting married to a guy she's only been with for 3months. I think its frikken stupid... but she's an adult I got to let her do her thing & make her own mistakes... just let your dad know you love him & support him... that you may not like it them together like this.. but you have no choice really so you might as well try to make the best of it right?
Sry if it sounds too blunt :P he's been divorsed twice now right? He knows he has YOU for life. How do you thjink he feels about it? He may not like it & may not have a choice eather. Its taking chances that build you into a bigger person.. learning from mistakes. But if he's doing this the third time... he may know what he's doing! One day.. you yourself could end up in the same position... you nvr know...
