Hard to say if it's too soon. Sometimes people connect in a short period of time. Only time will tell.

Sweetheart,
I think their old enough to figure it out. Just be happy that your dad's happy. My son's were young when I remarried, my has went through many since then.
But my wife and I have the only stable environment, those boys have ever seen. And they've never seen us fight either and it's been 12 yrs now. If we disagree we discuss it like adults should.
Both my father and step dad have passed away, I never really knew my father and I sure do miss my step dad. best man that ever lived.
I hope that you get along with his soon to be wife and if not please try, because that's the best gift you could give your dad, no joke.
Even if you took away the fact my ex cheated and kept my son's from me, I wouldn't have wanted them to grow up watching us fight ALL the time. and besides everything happens for a reason
Tonight dance with him and let him know how you feel, tell him you approve and would love him know matter what, yes dad's need words of encouragement too.
Hope this helps, email me if you need too

How soon is to soon, they have gone together 16 months so they say and never had a disagreement, that part I don't buy. But, if they want to marry and love each other than just wish them all the best this world has to offer.

I think that the time it takes for someone to know that the other person is the one for them varies! Some people know within minutes of meeting them, others maybe years! But only they know if this is going to be the right thing for them!
I have a friend who met a guy and was married to him within 6 months, and they are still as happy as the first day they met! But, I have others who knew each other for years before marrying and are now miserable and seperated!
And as for not having a big argument-some people don't do that! When you are truely happy with someone, you mmay rather let things go than fight about them! Especially with older people, they realize that things are petty and get over them quicker! I've found that younger couples fight more, and older couples let things go!
Moral: time dating doesn't determine the succesfulness of a mairrage-the people deterimine that!

I think 16months is good. Because it doesn't matter how long you are with a person you will always find out some thing new. You will never fully get to really no a person it takes a life time. In that life time you will alway find out some thing new about the person that you are with it my be good or not so good. So to answer your question no its not to soon and it doesn't take years to find out if the person that you are with is the person for you.

I'd say that anybody who hasn't had a knock-down-drag-out argument with their indended is getting married way too soon! Life isn't all roses & it sounds like they don't know each other for real if they haven't had a big argument yet. How you argue says a lot about you.

sometimes people just know it's right. and it could be that depending on the age of your dad and his girlfriend, that they've been through enough relationships to recognize a good one. ultimately it really doesn't matter what you or I think, your dad has already made his decision. All you can do is be there to celebrate his happiness, no matter how short lived it may be.

No one can really say if its too soon but them. My husband and I were together 7 months before we got married and my mom and dad just knew each other a few weeks(but they are divorced now).

I know your the daughter and your concerned, but surely they wouldn't just go get married if they didn't feel it was right.

No maybe they just get a long well. Just be happy for him, he is an adult and he would want you to just be there for him.
