"Owning our stuff" in relationships means taking responsibility for our actions and feelings

It's realizing that we control 100% of our own pie -- not half of a combined pie. Each person is responsible for their own stuff “inside” their own “pie.”

Accepting our own responsibility for our own pie can help us communicate better, resolve conflicts and help the relationship work.

PeaceBuilders Opinion 1

There is truth in the idea that each of us and our life stuff resembles a pie of sort.

Lots of different ingredients stuffed into our human physical and emotional shells.

Big pies, small pies, sweet pies, savoury pies etc

Each pie is so different as life is different for each of us. It is important to remember that our world is full of pies.

Our relationship with our partner is a pie all on its own. Our work life is a separate pie with all those complex ingredients and chemical reactions.

**That pies happen is part of our life journey. **

It is what happens in each pie and how the ingredients react and blend that makes a good tasting pie or a bad pie.

We are somewhat in control of how and what role we play in our pie and how we choose to react with the other ingredients.

The other interesting idea is that it usually takes heat to bake a pie and get it well cooked and tasty.

Too little heat and the pie is raw and too much heat and it get s burnt.

What part we want to play in each pie is still up to us to some extent. At the very least we can controle how we react to the other ingredients once the heat is turned up a bit.
