Martin Guay 👨‍💻🌈🎮📱🍁<p>At 43, I’m proof love has no expiration or simple blueprint. I'm embracing vulnerability, love deeply, and building a family that reflects my truth, with respect, patience, and care. It’s messy, beautiful, and mine. Unfolding one day at a time.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/poly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>poly</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/polyamorous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>polyamorous</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/gay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/gaybear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gaybear</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a> PART 7 of 7</p>
Martin Guay 👨‍💻🌈🎮📱🍁<p>Love at this stage in life isn’t about fitting into traditional moulds. It’s about building your own unique family, with honesty, boundaries, and mutual care. “This is my family,” even if it surprises them.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/polyamory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>polyamory</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/polyamorous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>polyamorous</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/gay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/gaybear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gaybear</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/2SLGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>2SLGBTQIA</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a> PART 6 of 7</p>
Martin Guay 👨‍💻🌈🎮📱🍁<p>Being “seen” by someone, truly seen, is one of the most profound experiences. It melts walls, builds trust, and creates intimacy that goes beyond the physical. When you find that, hold on tight. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/polyamory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>polyamory</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/polyamorous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>polyamorous</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/gay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/gaybear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gaybear</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/2SLGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>2SLGBTQIA</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a> PART 5 of 7</p>
Martin Guay 👨‍💻🌈🎮📱🍁<p>Hosting family, juggling chaos, and still carving out space for love. Not always easy, but being a safe, grounding presence for someone amid life’s storms is a gift.

Martin Guay 👨‍💻🌈🎮📱🍁<p>Sometimes love requires waiting, waiting for someone to process feelings, to open up, to trust fully. That patience is hard but rewarding. The best connections aren’t rushed; they grow steadily, rooted in respect and authenticity.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/polyamory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>polyamory</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/polyamorous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>polyamorous</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/gay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gay</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/gaybear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gaybear</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/2SLGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>2SLGBTQIA</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a> PART 3 of 7</p>
Martin Guay 👨‍💻🌈🎮📱🍁<p>What does it mean to love two people at once? It means balancing respect, openness, and clear communication. It means understanding each partner’s needs without trying to “fix” anything.

Martin Guay 👨‍💻🌈🎮📱🍁<p>Navigating love in your 40s isn’t always straightforward. It’s about knowing yourself deeply, being honest, and embracing complexity.
