My bf and I have been together almost 2 years, we are both older(I am 40, he is 59) his wife passed away from cancer 2+ years ago (dec.6) and their wedding anniversary was on Valentines Day, does any one have any suggestions on how I should handle this. Last year we celebrated Valentines Day a week later.
Please no age related comments or about how fast we got together after his wife passed, I did not know him or his wife before we met in May 2 years ago.

Maybe ask him if he wants to keep celebrating it later.
If so, just be there for him if he needs some mourning time or whatever. If he want s to celebrate on Valentines day maybe ask him what he is in the mood for, and do that along with some of your own special added touches

Obviously that day is going to be a tough one for him...try to make him feel as comfortable as possible...i'd suggest having a romantic valentine's day celebration on a different day each year until he's ready to celebrate it on the real day

don't celebrate on that day. it will not work out. just make sure you are kind and clam. he will obviously be depressed and he will want some time to remember his wife. just show him that you support him and are concerned about his happiness. comfort him on valentines day and then you can get to celebrating on your own special "valentines" day
