It's natural to feel sadness and introspection whenever a chapter in our life ends, Sis, but I would definitely stop short of calling this a failure. It was something that just wasn't meant to be, and the fact that you both survived it and learned from it can only count as a victory. Was it easy? Riiiiight...sure it was...and if you believe that, have I got a deal for you! Was it necessary? Probably, in some form, yeah, it was. It gave you each a better command of what you do and don't need in your lives. Was it drawn out? Unfortunately, yeah. But you survived it, you learned from it, and now you can mourn for a time but then you will have to move past it.
Feel sad for a bit, mourn for a bit, then set the sadness aside while keeping the lessons learned...and look forward. You've got a lot to look forward to from this point on. And people who are here to help you move into that new chapter.

Failure? I think not.
