Not a massive failure but I went through breakup with a biz partner, I wanted to continue, he didn't, so it ended. Hit me pretty hard.
5 years later I don't feel like I have recovered (whatever recovered means). There is a lot of unresolved stuff there which is never going to get resolved. I moved away, started doing other work but I don't look back with fondness. If I could I would go back and do somethings differently.
